"Hysterical, heartbreaking, flat-out hilarious...after KASHER IN
THE RYE, Moshe Kasher will no longer be known just as a brilliant,
cutting edge young comic, but as a genuine monster writer of the
highest order. Think Holden Caulfield on dope and bagels, with a
side of crime and insane asylums. This is the kind of book that
makes you want to wake up everyone you know at three in the morning
and scream at them to read. Little Moshe Kasher lived a life no one
should have to endure, and we're lucky he survived to write about
it. He is living proof that whatever doesn't kill you makes you
funnier. I fucking loved this book." --Jerry Stahl, New York
Times bestselling author of Permanent Midnight
"Moshe Kasher is a comic genius. In his memoir, KASHER IN THE RYE,
he is able to perform an act of comedic magic which is reserved
only for the true greats, such as Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, and
Mitch Hedberg. Kasher's memoir will take you on a dark and
hilarious journey of drugs, alcohol, and madness. But, by the time
you reach the end of this book, you will be filled with hope and
inspiration that even the most vulnerable can find redemption and
recovery." --Artie Lange, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of Too Fat to Fish
"Out of all the Hip Hop Jewish kids I know with deaf Orthodox
parents, Kasher is the funniest. This book is thoughtful, touching,
a bit harrowing and hilarious. Don't shy away because his name is
Moshe, it's not too 'Jewy'. Emmis." --Marc Maron, comedian and
host of the WTF podcast
"Travelling the hard road from teenage addiction to recovery, from
lost boy to human being, Moshe Kasher tells it straight. His book
over-brims with bravado and heart-breaking awareness, and with an
authenticity that rings so true it's shattering. Frank and, above
all, funny, this book is a marvel. I couldn't put it down."
--M.A.C. Farrant, author of My Turquoise Years & reviewer
for Toronto Globe & Mail
