They are wide ranging and inventive: A young Jewish man's inexplicable transformation into a very large, blond, tattooed goy ends with an argument over whether or not his father can beat his unclean son with a copy of the Talmud.

At God's insistence, Leo Schwartzman searches Home Depot for supplies for an ark. And a young boy mistakes Holocaust Remembrance Day as emergency preparedness training for the future.<P></p><P>Auslander draws upon his upbringing in an Orthodox Jewish community in New York State to craft stories that are filled with shame, sex, God, and death, but also manage to be wickedly funny and poignant.<P></p><P> 3429381 2005 Beware of God: Stories total:265|5:72|4:88|3:73|2:27|1:5| 265 990 438 59 50901 0743264576 9780743264570 253 57 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170372257m/50901.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50901.Beware_of_God_Stories 5 0 false Fri Jan 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 09:17:13 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 10:30:54 -0800 2009 is a chicken.
