Foreskin’s Lament

Maud Newton talks to Shalom Auslander about God and religion (Auslander tells Maud, “The only thing that seems that different about religions are the nouns. The verbs are all the same. God is going to kill ______, but he loves ______.”). Auslander is the author of Beware of God and a new memoir Foreskin’s Lament. You can listen to the half-hour-long interview here. There’s a brief promotional video for Foreskin’s Lament on Auslander’s website. Click here to hear him deliver lines like “I read Spinoza. I read Nietzsche. I read National Lampoon. Nothing helps…. I believe in God. It’s been a real problem for me.”
