 This is Fresh Air. Today I'm talking with writer and humorist Shalom Auslander. His new memoir, Fe, chronicles the impacts of growing up within a dysfunctional, ultra-Orthodox Jewish family, and how in middle age, Shalom is trying to overcome what he was taught about himself. Shalom's other works include Beware of God, a short story collection, and his first memoir, Four Skins Lament. Auslander is also the creator of Showtime's Happyish.
