In the audience is a district court justice, Avishai Lazar, whom Dov knew as a boy, along with a few others who remember Dov as the awkward, scrawny kid who walked on his hands to confound the neighborhood bullies. Gradually, teetering between hilarity and hysteria, Dov's patter becomes a kind of memoir, taking us back into the terrors of his childhood-his beautiful flower of a mother, a Holocaust survivor in need of constant monitoring; his punishing father, a striver who had little understanding of his creative son. Finally, recalling his week at a military camp for youth-where Lazar witnessed what became the central event of Dov's childhood-Dov describes the indescribable while Lazar wrestles with his own part in the comedian's story of loss and survival. A beautiful performance by Grossman (jokes in questionable taste included). 606 $aFiction$2OverDrive 606 $aHumor (Fiction)$2OverDrive 606 $aLiterature$2OverDrive 615 17$aFiction. 615 7$aHumor (Fiction). 615 7$aLiterature. 676 $a892.43/6 686 $aFIC019000$aFIC046000$aFIC060000$2bisacsh 700 $aGrossman$b David$0476367 702 $aBarrett$b Joe$4nrt 702 $aCohen$b Jessica$4trl 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910164191103321 996 $aA horse walks into a bar$94290285 997 $aUNINA
