Welcome to Litsy!

A riotous, whirlwind tour through deep American subcultures ranging from Burning Man to Alcoholics Anonymous, by the hilarious stand-up comic Moshe Kasher After bottoming out, being institutionalized, and getting sober all by the tender age of fifteen, Moshe Kasher found himself asking: OK, so what else is out there? Over the ensuing decades, he found his way to the answer: a lot. From his current vantage point as a successful stand-up comic, Kasher looks back on his years careening from subculture to subculture, and he immerses readers in the hilariously strange nuances of each of the scenes he�s found himself in. Immediately after getting sober, Kasher began serving as the self-appointed sheriff of his Young People�s AA group. He then went on to start his own club-promoting business from scratch in the heart of the 90s California rave scene, and later became a security guard at Burning Man. Once, he caught a man who worked as a coyote at the US border sneaking punk kids into the festival as a side hustle. A child of deaf adults, he�s also served as a sign language interpreter, and once helped an angry client cuss out a police officer. Later in life, Kasher went on to reconnect with his Jewish heritage after the death of his father, and now has a booming career as a stand-up comic. Subculture Vulture is a sharp, insightful, and gut-wrenchingly funny tour of some of the most wildly different subcultures a person can experience. Deftly weaving together memoir and propulsive cultural analysis, Kasher takes readers on a guided expedition of otherwise impenetrable worlds. It�s a story of finding your people, over and over again, in different settings, and knowing without a doubt that wherever you are is where you�re supposed to be.
