This guy has great ideas. One of his stories became the movie Wristcutters. His writing is very simple and some of his stories are really just story fragments. ( )
I listened to the audio version of this book of short stories and loved that they were read by many authors and actors. Some stories were truly phenomenal while others were just okay. ( )
This collection of quirky short stories deals with a lot of relatable aspects of modern day life and romance. Some of the stories are moderately entertaining, others are excessively prurient, and most are good but not great. With Ira Glass narrating a couple of stories this sounds like a middling episode of This American Life (This Israeli Life?). The magical realism aspects are fun but mostly I was slightly charmed rather than overwon by these stories. ( )
This is a collection of quirky and often strange stories, incorporating elements of fantasy, by Israeli author Etgar Keret. Many of them were very brief and felt more like vignettes rather than actual stories, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied at the end of each story and wanting a bit more context or resolution. Still, I liked getting impressions of the many facets of life in Israel. ( )
