There is no one like Etgar Keret. His stories take place at the crossroads of fantastic tragedies and uncontrollable joy. His heroes struggle with the difficulties of parenthood, family problems, war, gambling addiction, cravings for sweets, memory and even love. When you start reading a story, you can never imagine how it will end. But the result is always the same - shock, laughter, sadness. Laconic, touching, incredible, and sometimes just downright crazy, Keret's stories are imbued with a special intimacy, as if the author is sitting across from you in a pub or a coffee shop and you are chatting with him about everything under the sun: about neighbors, about loved ones, about children, about friends, about everyday troubles, about your feelings, but above all - about the state of our crazy world.
Keret's stories shimmer like an amalgam, sometimes through a haze, sometimes glaring straight into the eye; they are full of realistic absurdity - bright and lofty, dark and frightening. If you are already familiar with the stories of Etgar Keret - for example, from the books "Seven Fat Years" and "Suddenly There is a Knock at the Door" - then this book is probably a welcome addition to those you have already read, and if you have not yet read Keret, this collection is the ideal starting point for immersing yourself in his work.
