"You'll probably learn something--unless you've lived an identical life to his, which seems statistically impossible--and laugh in roughly equal measure . Kasher's research shines through, revealing detailed histories that might surprise readers . Kasher's ability to blend humor with homework works almost too well." --New York Times "Moshe Kasher's travels through recovery are laid out beautifully, honestly, and effortlessly. I don't know that I've read a more succinct description of the entire experience from soup to nuts. With equal parts authority and humility, Subculture Vulture is an elegant and a hilarious reminder that none of us really know anything for certain." --Dax Shepard "An electrifying, hilarious, and surprisingly emotional trip through the worlds Kasher has inhabited, including the one we share: the world of electronic dance music . He takes us on a trip through the rave scene of the nineties and you won't feel like you 'had to be there,' because you'll feel like you are.
" --The Chainsmokers "[Kasher's] engaging writing style . he's a wry, affable tour guide. It makes for compulsive reading." --Datebook "[Kasher] blends his personal narrative with cultural history and criticism, creating a layered, multidimensional story that's not just about him . His honesty is disarming, and his story is a testament to the constant growth we experience throughout our lives." --The Jewish Book Council "Whatever your situation, you'll think anew about the groups you belong to and come away with a new comprehension of those you don't, as Subculture Vulture provides a brightly paved and wildly winding path to understanding." -- Joyzine "This book is a godsend, with edgy humor cleverly woven into the captivating tapestry of Deaf history, all seen through the unique lens of a culturally Deaf individual who also happens to be hearing. Prepare to be enlightened and entertained simultaneously.
" --Nyle DiMarco, activist, actor, producer, and New York Times bestselling author of Deaf Utopia: A Memoir--and a Love Letter to a Way of Life "Kasher has the rare gift to simultaneously celebrate a community while also making fun of it. His writing succinctly captures the insanity, the joy, the ridiculousness, and the radical act of fully embracing these worlds." --Nick Kroll "A deeply felt meditation on, well, all of Jewish history and Kasher's place within it . It's thoughtful and funny and, in places I didn't expect to be, just plain wise." --Nathan Englander, Pulitzer Prize finalist and bestselling author of What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank "Kasher's thoughtful account of the world of comedy is inspired and funny, and the accounts of those early open mics rang very true for me, even though I bombed a lot less than him." --John Mulaney "This will resonate with readers who've felt alone in an overwhelming world." -- Publishers Weekly "Vivid and great fun." -- Kirkus Reviews.
