Rising young comedian Kasher started using drugs when he was just 12. At that point, he had already been in psychoanalysis for eight years. By the time he was 15, he had been in and out of several mental institutions, drifting from therapy to rehab to arrest. But Kasher in the Rye is not an eye opener to the horrors of addiction. Its a hilarious memoir about the absurdity of it all. nA hopeful and inspiring act of comedic magic from comedian--and now memoirist!--Moshe Kasher (Artie Lange, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Too Fat to Fish). nRising 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. Its a hilarious memoir about the absurdity of it all. n nWhen he was a young boy, Kashers 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. Thats 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. n nThose early years read like part Augusten Burroughs, part David Sedaris, with a touch of Jim Carrol...but a lot more Jewish. In fact, Kasher later spends time in a Brooklyn Hasidic community. Then came addicition... n nBrutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Kashers first literary endeavor finds humor in even the most horrifying situations.n
