Shalom Auslander, author of the darkly funny\xa0Foreskin\u2019s Lament: A Memoir\xa0and\xa0Hope: A Tragedy, turns his satiric gaze to contemporary identity politics, family relationships and cannibalism in his latest novel. The outrageous premise of\xa0Mother for Dinner\xa0serves as a clever device to interrogate these themes in sharp, entertaining and often grotesque ways. Auslander joins us to talk about tribalism, mother issues and the crippling weight of history.
