Hope: A Tragedy
by Shalom Auslander
by Shalom Auslander
I don't even know where to start reviewing this book. It is so very, very wrong and hysterically funny. How could you miss with a story about Anne Frank living in your attic and your dying mother who thinks she's a Holocaust survivor.
Auslander is not for the easily-offended and while this book is a great read (devoured most of it on a single plane ride), Foreskin's Lament is where you want to start.

I haven't read this, but it sounds like a perfect companion read to it would be Philip Roth's The Ghost Writer, which features some Anne Frankism, as well. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50...

"perfect companion read to it" is terrible construction. You know what I mean. I'm doing taxes and laying out a catalog and I'm so tired. :)
