Reviews
Keret's short stories are filled with antiheroes. There are no brave Maccabees, no swashbuckling warriors. Instead, his sketches dramatize the mundane details of daily life. "When you wake up in the morning," he says, "before you've had your first cup of coffee, what you think about is not, Why isn't there a Palestinian state? You say, 'Why doesn't my girlfriend love me?' Or 'I hope somebody didn't steal my car.' " Stories can be dreams, of a sort, and Keret's seem to promise that there is more to life than Merkava tanks and suicide killers, more even than nanotech or IPOs. His quirky collections--which have sold more than 200,000 copies in Israel--offer a glimpse into the Israeli subconscious. They satisfy jumbled, humble hopes--not the high-blown fantasies of the original frontiersmen., "His enchantingly witty stories suggest that a keen intelligence can still flourish even when the air is full of flying metal ... Our best chance is that Etgar Keret will become a craze, a craze for sanity." --Clive James "The best work of literature to come out of Israel in the last five thousand years--better than Leviticus and nearly as funny. Each page is a cut and polished gem. Do yourself a favor, walk over to the counter and buy this book now." --Gary Shteyngart, author of THE RUSSIAN DEBUTANTE'S HANDBOOK "Stories that are short, strange, funny, deceptively casual in tone and effect, stories that sound like a joke but aren't--Etgar Keret is a writer to be taken seriously." --Yann Martel, author of THE LIFE OF PI "Keret's short stories are filled with antiheroes.

So I ask you to open the book and read." --Neal Stephenson, author of Cryptonomicon "Etgar Keret is the voice of young Israel . . .

  • Wanted and now Enjoyed !!

    This is a great book ..The stories are very differnt from each other. They have morals, good information, and religious humor. The stories provoke thought .. laughter and a double take.

  • Wierd

    This book is very interseting. I really couldnt believe wha I was reading at times. Its not the best book of all time but its something to read if you like something diffrent. Very weird.

  • eh...

    it's ok. not brilliant. no new revelations here. it didn't move me. am I missing something? it's gotten great reviews. go figure.
