One person lies too much and one day ends up in a space inhabited by his own fabrications. Another person always lives with closed eyes because it's easier to fantasize that way. A third survived a coma and now misses what he saw in it. The fourth certainly needs to go to kindergarten on a big blue bus. The fifth — for example, God in a wheelchair. The sixth wished for two of three wishes from a golden fish and keeps postponing the third. Etgar Keret’s world is absurdity and reality, tragedy and comedy, pure emotion and excessive reflection; in other words, normal life. Sometimes different people show up at the author's house demanding a story be written immediately. Because such a life simply must be told. This new collection of Etgar Keret’s short stories is a collection of short masterpieces about everyday life, about the most ordinary things that hide incredible complexity, longing, joy, fun, danger, and simply life. The dead and the living, silent children and talkative animals, dreams and reality — all with light absurdity, humor, sadness, and compassion.
