À propos de cet audio
“The finest, most moving and powerful memoir I have ever read.”—MAYIM BIALIK
Rising 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. It's a hilarious memoir about the absurdity of it all.
When he was a young boy, Kasher's 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. That's 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.
Brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Kasher's first literary endeavor finds humor in even the most horrifying situations.

To enter the country, she must pretend to be her husband’s first wife - a paper wife. On the perilous voyage, Mei Ling takes an orphan girl named Siew under her wing. Dreams of a better life in America give Mei Ling the strength to endure the treacherous journey and detainment on Angel Island. But when she finally reaches San Francisco, she’s met with a surprise.

In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her. Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life—and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?

Histoire
Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

“Kasher narrates his unlikely odyssey in surprisingly arresting, and successful, literary terms. . . riotously funny . . .searingly truthful.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Kasher’s stream-of-consciousness writing, coupled with vivid dialogue, make for an emotional story. . . . It is not easy for addicts to dig deep into their emotional truth about their experiences, but Kasher does a remarkable job and should be applauded.”—Washington Post

Compelling story
Great narration and performance. I found the book light and funny despite the heavier and more difficult subjects. I did feel at times that the story was dragging a bit / that the author was complaining but it goes in line with the hopeless situation he felt he was in. I’d recommend this book, listened to it in less than a week.

Honest, unrelenting and full of heart
Fascinating retelling of a troubled youth that has a lot of heart. Some of the one liners are a little basic but this is a story of a life that deserves to be told. Much respect to the author for sharing such an honest recollection of his early years. Not your average comedian written autobiography.

Great Book
It was great to finally hear Moshe's full story. I've been a big fan of his stand up and listening to his various podcasts where he made reference to this book, but it was nice to finally hear the full story.
Pete Holmes made reference to the book on his episode a week or two ago so I decided to use up one of my audible credits.
Compelling stories, had my laughing and almost tearing up at the end there when he talks about his graduation.
Maybe the next edition can have an afterward by "Shawn the Bomb"?

Listened to the whole thing in 2 days.
Got in to Moshe from the now defunct 'champs' podcast. My friend had this book and i borrowed it and it was truly inspiring.
I decided this year to revisit it in audiobook form because i love both Moshe's voice, his story telling abilities, and his story.
It did not disappoint.
