Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander

3.0

I grabbed this book off the shelf because I recognized the name from This American Life and I have Foreskin's Lament sitting somewhere on my bookshelf, still unread. I started reading this knowing nothing about the plot and, as a concept, the book is interesting. I would have liked to have read this story as told by a more competent writer. The themes and ideas seem half-baked and not fully realized. I did laugh out loud quite a few times reading through it.
