Writer Shalom Auslander catalogs his lifelong battle with self-contempt in 'Feh'

NPR  

Writer Shalom Auslander catalogs his lifelong battle with self-contempt in 'Feh' Auslander has written for decades about growing up in a dysfunctional household within an ultra-orthodox Jewish community. AUSLANDER: But when you're told that all the things that are happening to you or you're feeling are evil or wrong, it's 10 times worse, and you don't want to see yourself in the mirror. Shalom's other works include "Beware Of God," a short story collection, and his first memoir, "Foreskin's Lament." And I don't know that that's necessarily true for every actor, because I've met a few and clearly some just like acting or being the center of attention. AUSLANDER: I mean, I believe - I don't think there's a God, right?
