 This is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley. Today my guest is writer Shalom Auslander. For decades, he's written with humor about what it was like to grow up in a dysfunctional household within an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community near the Catskills in the town of Muncie, New York. He describes how it was drilled into him from a very young age that he was born into sin, which meant he was broken, shameful, and in constant need of redemption.
