The author offers a fascinating memoir about his youth as an Orthodox Jew growing up in a pop-culture obsessed, materialistic, highly distracting world, showing readers the often contentious relationship between the practice of religion and the demands of American culture. Original.
A high-energy, openhearted memoir of a young urbanite equally devoted to orthodox Jewish tradition and his go-go dancer girlfriend. Matthue Roth is an American original: an Orthodox Jew who cites Outkast and Michelle Tea among his influences, who won't touch a light switch on Shabbos but mimics a screaming orgasm onstage while reading his paean to Orthodox girls. From the World Bank riots to Thursday night tranny basketball in San Francisco's Dolores Park, Matthue takes readers on a journey through the queer and hip streets of urban America in his exuberant memoir, "Yom Kippur A Go-Go". With humour and insight, Roth describes the tension between contemporary life and the demands of faith. He falls in love and in lust with a panoply of girls, both strictly kosher and determinedly secular, to the accompaniment of mp3 rabbinical lectures on modesty ("Boys are nothing but perverts and filthy animals!").
