Synopsis

From the creator of the hugely popular @thefatjewish Instagram comes an outlandish collection of hilarious personal essays and images, which might be the most ridiculous book in the history of arts and letters.

If Steven Seagal and Barbara Streisand had drunken sex and conceived a baby boy, he would have show business chops and be proficient in martial arts. That boy would become Josh Ostrovsky, often known as "The Fat Jew."

Born and bred in New York City, Ostrovsky's overbearing mother entered him into "the biz" as an 8-year old with exquisite cheekbones and the singing voice of an angel. He appeared in a plethora of television commercials, and after his child-acting career fizzled, Ostrovsky took 20 years away from the limelight to focus on finding himself, eventually opening a yoga center in Toronto, and receiving his MFA in pottery at Middlebury College. JK, he mostly just did drugs.

But in 2009, when social media became a thing, he triumphantly returned to a life in the spotlight. He exfoliates daily, plays the harp, bakes his own croutons for every salad he eats, once saved a baby deer with a broken leg who had fallen into a stream, and speaks fluent Portuguese. With an army of followers on social media that often border on fanatical and creepy, he is a "rising" "star" whose backup plan is to marry Suri Cruise when she's of legal consenting age.

Channeling the brilliance of his online presence, Money Pizza Respect rolls out one ludicrous story after another-from puking on his grandfather after a debaucherous drunken night to saving his deaf neighbor from a burning building, to hiring prostitutes for the sole purpose of reenacting scenes from Mel Gibson's Braveheart. In this, the next milestone of his glorious life, Ostrovsky will attempt to reinvigorate the dying medium of print.

I mean, if someone gives you a book deal even though you have absolutely no writing skills you'd probably take the deal and the money too. I read the leaked version in an hour, there's actually very little content so there really isn't much to hate about it. I guess you're kind of left wondering why......more

I just read “Money Pizza Respect” by The Fat Jew over the course of a couple of days. It’s not a very long book, in terms of words. Some of it was hilarious, and a lot of the chapters have the feel of a good start for a chapter, but almost all of them are too short. Which, of course The Fat Jew ackno......more

Goodreads review by Ian on January 25, 2023

Well, that was the weirdest, sickest read of a book I have completed. The book was in a pile of freebies given to me. The title and strange photo on the cover spurred my interest. I always try and finish any book I start to read as respect to the author for going through the process of writing it. I......more
