À propos de cet audio

“The finest, most moving and powerful memoir I have ever read.”—MAYIM BIALIK

Rising young comedian Moshe Kasher is lucky to be alive. He started using drugs when he was just 12. At that point, he had already been in psychoanlysis for 8 years. By the time he was 15, he had been in and out of several mental institutions, drifting from therapy to rehab to arrest to...you get the picture. But Kasher in the Rye is not an "eye opener" to the horrors of addiction. It's a hilarious memoir about the absurdity of it all.

When he was a young boy, Kasher's mother took him on a vacation to the West Coast. Well it was more like an abduction. Only not officially. She stole them away from their father and they moved to Oakland , California. That's where the real fun begins, in the war zone of Oakland Public Schools. He was more than just out of control-his mother walked him around on a leash, which he chewed through and ran away.

Brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Kasher's first literary endeavor finds humor in even the most horrifying situations.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The finest, most moving and powerful memoir I have ever read. A complicated and heartbreakingly beautiful analysis of a life of addiction and mental health with a perfect dose of humor."—Mayim Bialik
“Kasher narrates his unlikely odyssey in surprisingly arresting, and
successful, literary terms. . . riotously funny . . .searingly truthful.”
San Francisco Chronicle
“Kasher’s stream-of-consciousness writing, coupled with vivid
dialogue, make for an emotional story. . . . It is not easy for addicts
to dig deep into their emotional truth about their experiences, but
Kasher does a remarkable job and should be applauded.”—Washington Post
“A compelling memoir . . . .written in Kasher’s distinctly witty and often frantic narrative voice.”—L.A. Weekly
“Kasher spills about his dark childhood . . . .It’s all true (I’ve confirmed). And brutally funny (with the accent
on brutally). I had it so easy. Wow.”—Library Journal
"Out of all the Hip Hop Jewish kids I know with deaf Orthodox parents, Kasher is the funniest. This book is thoughtful, touching, a bit harrowing and hilarious. Don't shy away because his name is Moshe, it's not too 'Jewy'. Emmis." --Marc Maron, comedian and host of the WTF podcast
"Moshe Kasher is a comic genius. In his memoir, KASHER IN THE RYE, he is able to perform an act of comedic magic which is reserved only for the true greats, such as Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, and Mitch Hedberg. Kasher's memoir will take you on a dark and hilarious journey of drugs, alcohol, and madness. But, by the time you reach the end of this book, you will be filled with hope and inspiration that even the most vulnerable can find redemption and recovery." --Artie Lange, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Too Fat to Fish
"Hysterical, heartbreaking, flat-out hilarious...after KASHER IN THE RYE, Moshe Kasher will no longer be known just as a brilliant, cutting edge young comic, but as a genuine monster writer of the highest order. Think Holden Caulfield on dope and bagels, with a side of crime and insane asylums. This is the kind of book that makes you want to wake up everyone you know at three in the morning and scream at them to read. Little Moshe Kasher lived a life no one should have to endure, and we're lucky he survived to write about it. He is living proof that whatever doesn't kill you makes you funnier. I fucking loved this book." --Jerry Stahl, New York Times bestselling author of Permanent Midnight

Disgusting and beautiful

Great narration and performance. I found the book light and funny despite the heavier and more difficult subjects. I did feel at times that the story was dragging a bit / that the author was complaining but it goes in line with the hopeless situation he felt he was in. I’d recommend this book, listened to it in less than a week.

Compelling story

Sad when a great book ends. This would be a book I wish I could read from the beginning as though I’d never read it before. 💜

Sad when it’s over.

Excellent listen, a well told and very compelling story. I would definitely recommend this book.

If you like memoirs you’ll love this

Fascinating retelling of a troubled youth that has a lot of heart. Some of the one liners are a little basic but this is a story of a life that deserves to be told. Much respect to the author for sharing such an honest recollection of his early years. Not your average comedian written autobiography.

Honest, unrelenting and full of heart

It was great to finally hear Moshe's full story. I've been a big fan of his stand up and listening to his various podcasts where he made reference to this book, but it was nice to finally hear the full story.

Pete Holmes made reference to the book on his episode a week or two ago so I decided to use up one of my audible credits.

Compelling stories, had my laughing and almost tearing up at the end there when he talks about his graduation.

Maybe the next edition can have an afterward by "Shawn the Bomb"?

Great Book

“You’re not bad, you are sick,’ and other insights make this book a must read for anyone who works with kids. It’s heartbreaking, shocking and informative.

Worth reading: Every teacher needs to read this!

a worthwhile read

Got in to Moshe from the now defunct 'champs' podcast. My friend had this book and i borrowed it and it was truly inspiring.
I decided this year to revisit it in audiobook form because i love both Moshe's voice, his story telling abilities, and his story.
It did not disappoint.

Listened to the whole thing in 2 days.

Really Enjoyed!
