Synopsis "Kasher in the Rye"

“The finest, most moving and powerful memoir I have ever read.”—MAYIM BIALIK

Rising young comedian Moshe Kasher is lucky to be alive. He started using drugs when he was just 12. At that point, he had already been in psychoanlysis for 8 years. By the time he was 15, he had been in and out of several mental institutions, drifting from therapy to rehab to arrest to...you get the picture. But Kasher in the Rye is not an "eye opener" to the horrors of addiction. It's a hilarious memoir about the absurdity of it all.

When he was a young boy, Kasher's mother took him on a vacation to the West Coast. Well it was more like an abduction. Only not officially. She stole them away from their father and they moved to Oakland , California. That's where the real fun begins, in the war zone of Oakland Public Schools. He was more than just out of control-his mother walked him around on a leash, which he chewed through and ran away.

Brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Kasher's first literary endeavor finds humor in even the most horrifying situations.

Moshe Kasher (nombre completo Mark Moshe Kasher, nacido en 1979) es comediante, escritor y actor estadounidense. Creció en Oakland, California, en circunstancias difíciles: criado por padres sordos, con inestabilidades familiares, enfrentó problemas de salud mental, abuso de drogas y episodios en instituciones desde muy joven. A pesar de eso, encontró su voz como artista y autor, desarrollando una carrera en stand-up, guiones para televisión y cine, y escritura autobiográfica.

Su obra más conocida es Kasher in the Rye: The True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16, un memorándum crudo y a la vez humorístico sobre su adolescencia turbulenta. Allí relata cómo pasó por tratamientos psiquiátricos, rehabilitación, la calle y la criminalidad, hasta lograr superar esa etapa. También ha sido reconocido como comediante del año por plataformas como iTunes, lo que confirma que su trabajo combina desafío personal con éxito profesional.
