“The Judaic concept of an Asshole God fit his generally negative view of the universe.” #MotherForDinner
I finish Mother For Dinner, definitely the best novel about a family of cannibals in Brooklyn I’ve ever read. In fact, I can best praise it as almost on a par with Hope, Auslander’s sensationally bad taste novel about a New Englander finding Anne Frank in his attic.
