BOOK REVIEWS
"Keret is a brilliant writer, unlike anyone I've read. He is the voice of the next generation."Salman Rushdie
Keret may be the most important writer working in Israel right now; certainly he is the closest observer of its post-intifada, post-Oslo spiritual condition. And astonishingly, he is also the Israeli writer closest to the literary tradition of pre-Israel, pre- Holocaust European Jewry . . . Kafka said that literature should be an ax to break the frozen sea within us. Keret is a writer wailing at the ice with a Wiffle ball bat. Stephen Marche, The Forward
Short, strange, funny, deceptively casual in tone and affect, stories that sound like a joke but arentEtgar Keret is a writer to be taken seriously. Yann Martell Keret can do more with six . . . paragraphs than most writers can with 600 pages. Kyle Smith, People
