Etgar Keret’s stories are quick, brief and precise — unhesitatingly moving. They are also hilarious and off-the-wall, yet dark, sometimes violent, and often intensely poignant: a powerful new collection from Israel’s best-selling author.

More Keret classics,
By Derek (Sioux City, IA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Missing Kissinger (Paperback)
Another great anthology of Etgar Keret stories, some you've probably read or heard before, some completely new. If you haven't read him, be ready for a group of short stories with Kafka style weirdness set in modern times whose heart is all about the characters and their personalities. Think Kurt Vonnegut with an even more dry wit. A great buy if you've read Keret before, but if you haven't, I'd suggest you start with the Busdriver Who Wanted To Be God.

This review is from: Missing Kissinger (Paperback)
Etgar Keret is my newest favorite writer. He's creative, whimsical, scary and real all in one book. I can't wait for him to release more work.
