Tom Perrotta
Auslander writes like Philip Roth's angry nephew... a scathing theological rant, a funny, oddly moving coming-of-age memoir, and an irreverent meditation on family, marriage, and cultural identity. God may be a bit irritated by this book, but I loved it. (Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children and The Abstinence Teacher)
