Synopsis
What do we believe? And in God's name "why"? These are the thorny questions that Lewis Black, the bitingly funny comedian, social critic, and bestselling author, tackles in his new book, "Me of Little Faith." And he's come up with some answers. Or at least "his "answers. In more than two dozen essays that investigate everything from the differences between how Christians and Jews celebrate their holidays, to the politics of faith, to people's individual search for transcendence, Black explores his unique odyssey through religion and belief. Growing up as a nonpracticing Jewish kid near Washington, D.C., during the 1950s, Black survived Hebrew school anda bar mitzvah (barely), went to college in the South during the tumultuous 1960s, and witnessed firsthand the unsettling parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions (even if none of his friends did). He explored the self-actualization movements of the 1970s (and the self-indulgence that they produced), and since then has turnedan increasingly skeptical eye toward the politicians and televangelists who donthe cloak of religiouos rectitude to mask their own moral hypocrisy. What he learned along the way about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black, and in "Me of Little Faith "he gives full vent to his comedic rage. Black explores how the rules and constraints of religion have affected his life and the lives of us all. Hilarious experiences with rabbis, Mormons, gurus, psychics, and even the joy of a perfect round of golf give Black the chance to expound upon what we believe and why in the language of a shock jock and with the heart of an iconoclast. "To put it as simply as I can," Black writes, "this is a book about my relationship with religion, where my dare I say it? spiritual journey has taken me...what it's meant and not meant to me, and why it makes me laugh." By the end of "Me of Little Faith," you'll be a convert.", Ferociously funny exploration of religion and faith by a man who survived a bar mitvah, university in the 60s and the self-actualisation movement of the 70s., Lewis Black has all the answers, or at least his answers. He survived Hebrew school and a bar mitzvah; was a 60s university student who saw the parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions; explored the self-actualisation movement of the 70s and turned a cynical eye toward politicians who don the cloak of religious rectitude to cover up their own hypocrisy. What he learned about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black and here they get all his comic attention.
