Subculture Vulture: A Memoir in Six Scenes

More engaging than Kasher's 2012 [b:Kasher in the Rye: The True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16 11569862 Kasher in the Rye The True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16 Moshe Kasher https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1399264922l/11569862.SY75.jpg 16510606], which suffered from relentlessly repetitive tales of substance use, failed rehab, educational disasters - all before Kasher got sober at age 16. His new memoir focuses on six subcultures that have defined him since then, including EDM raves, the Deaf community (both parents are Deaf), and Burning Man (yes, really). Along with his personal experiences, he throws in brief histories of each culture (everything you wanted to know about Judaism and the Hasidic movement in 25 pages!), all presented with a weird combination of sincerity and snark. I still can't forget the horrible acts Kasher confessed in his first book, but at least Subculture Vulture demonstrates that he is trying to be a better person.
