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.

Review:

"This collection of short stories is easily one of the most memorable, moving and laugh-aloud-funny books you'll read in a long time" -- Hepzibah Anderson * Daily Mail * "Many of the very short stories in this collection are more thought-provoking than the average novel" * Independent on Sunday * "A collection of short, surreal fragments that place the reader in peculiar and often moving worlds" * Metro * "A beguiling, savagely funny collection of stories...he'll leave you with more questions than answers but you'll feel all the better for it" -- Daniel Trilling * New Statesman * "These are 46 horror stories from Israel, though they acrobatically shape-shift from the political to the fabulous, and are outwardly comic... I enjoyed these wild, blackly inventive pieces very much at times" -- Todd McEwan * Guardian *
