Author: Etgar Keret
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 224
In this collection of brilliant, bite-sized satiric tales, Israeli author Etgar Keret chronicles the strange ironies that suffuse his characters' lives. A man goes to bed each night with his beautiful girlfriend, only to find himself five minutes later lying next to a short fat guy who watches sport; a faithful dog refuses to disappear, even after being shot; a little girl covets the glittery eyes of her schoolfriend; a man is surprised by a middle-eastern pessimistic talking fish; a daemon makes a living from repossessing young writers' talents- In stories as painfully funny as they are brief, Keret covers a remarkable emotional and narrative terrain, confirming his status as both Israel's bestselling young writer and new national conscience.'Keret's stories are brief and powerful linguistic downpours, usually punctuated by uproarious climaxes.' Booklist'Etgar Keret is an author I urge you to seek out. In a word- fabulous.' Herald Sun
