Memoirs of a Generation Screwed Jew

This vivid and colorful memoir recounts the experience of a Jewish-American man growing up during the turmoil of the Bush and Obama eras and dealing with the 2008 recession, crazy relatives, depression, failed romances, political and law careers, and foreign adventures in Israel, South Korea, and China. It contains richly detailed portraits of 2000's American life and the various fascinating cities of America, from New York to Chicago to New Orleans. It also has outrageous sexual comedy, Jewish shtick, and provides a serious look at the social issues facing the modern United States, from welfare to homelessness to the expense of college and over-competitiveness in the workforce. A must-read for people of what Newsweek has dubbed "Generation Screwed." If you enjoyed "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", you'll love this. Its a heartfelt and at times hilarious commentary on our American life.
