"Shalom Auslander writes like some contemporary comedic Jeremiah, thundering warnings of disaster and retribution. What makes him so terrifyingly funny is that he isn't joking." -- Howard Jacobson, author of The Finkler Question and winner of the Man Booker Prize
Shalom Auslander's HOPE: A TRAGEDY (on sale from Riverhead Books on 1/12/12) is a darkly hilarious novel about the double-edged sword that is hope, about anger, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the burdens of family and fatherhood. HOPE: A TRAGEDY is the masterful first novel from a celebrated writer whose fiction reveals startling truths about our lives and moral experiences, and makes us laugh, even as we recognize the hopelessness of existence.

@JoshG983 I guess it registered more fateful and melancholic than humorous - I know Jewish humour for sure, maybe i am just wary of how this will be interpreted or used as entertainment outside Jewish culture - but maybe that is not for me to say

@fightpollution It's called Jewish humor. It's fateful and melancholic. It has been practiced since the time of Jonah (the guy in the whale) and it was also practiced in the Warsaw Ghetto. It's a way of critiquing yourself and the world and making evil, which is inevitable part of the world, a bit more bearable.

this is scary, the stories of my grandparents, my grandfather was in a concentration camp, I do get the need to discuss and attempt various representations of the Holocaust, but this seems undeveloped unlike the graphic novel Maus, maybe i just don't see it and am uninitiated in these authors, could someone better explain what is going on here?
