Description

‘Etgar Keret’s short stories are fierce, funny, full of energy and insight, and at the same time they are often deep, tragic and very moving’ – Amos OzAt a children’s tea party, a magician tries to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but takes out only its head; a young man has a mother and girlfriend who each demand that he gives them the other one’s heart; while a Nobel Laureate asks an orphan to perform a very strange task.In Etgar Keret’s blackly comic stories the unexpected can, and usually does, happen. They are clever, quick, sometimes violent and often intensely poignant. They are, in short, brilliant.
