One person lies too much and once falls into the space where his inventions live. Another person always lives with his eyes closed, because it is more convenient to fantasize. And the third experienced to whom and now misses what he saw in her. And the fourth must definitely go to kindergarten on a large blue bus. And the fifth - for example, God is in a wheelchair. And the sixth made a gold fish two wishes out of three and everything puts off the third for later. The world of Etgar Keret is absurdity and reality, tragedy and comic, pure emotion and excessive reflection, in other words, normal life. Sometimes different people are announced to the author to the house and demand that the author compose a story, this very minute. Because you just need to talk about such a life. The new collection of stories by Etgar Keret is a collection of short masterpieces about everyday life, about the most commonplace things that hide incredible complexity, longing, joy, fun, danger and just life. Dead and living, silent children and talkative animals, dreams and reality - and all this with a slight absurdity, humor, sadness and compassion.
Keret - a brilliant writer. He is completely different from any writer that I know. The voice of the new generation.

The best book by Keret, the most funny, gloomy and piercing. There is a temptation to say that his stories are the Kafkian, in fact, Keretian. Written unpretentiously, spoken, they are at the same time full of strange poetry. They screw into your insides. And you think about them for many more days.

To the usual self -irony demonstration of himself in this absurd world, Keret adds serious determination Somehow comprehend this weakness. His stories are a rare place where self-digging at least once leads to self-understanding.
