2008
Overview
Irrationality and imbalance are inherent components of this mindset. 'Sounds like narcissism to me,' says one of Auslander's friends, listening to the latest instance of God's manic persecution: 'He never gets bored of you, does he?' A TV screen in the bar behind them proves the point by churning out a modern litany from CNN ('bombings in Israel, killings in Gaza, murder in Darfur'). Auslander escaped as a teenager from the closed system of his upbringing by trips to the Metropolitan Museum backed up by a regular round of porn shops and drug-dealers. He had by this time progressed from shoplifting jelly babies and clothes to stolen copies of Kafka, Beckett, Pinter and Mamet ('I didn't always know what they were saying, but I sure liked the way they said it').
