I don't know if this one has an English translation because I read it in spanish, but I hope it does. This is a short children's book about a little girl who can't go to sleep because even though her dad told her it was going to be a full moon tonight, she can't see it anywhere. So, of course, she g...

Zgadzam się z opinią, że Keret to mistrz krótkiej formy. Kilka słów, parę sprawie ułożonych zdań, całość nie raz nie dłuższa niż jedna kartka, a naładowana tak potężną dawką emocji. Po każdym opowiadaniu potrzebna jest chwila na uśmiech, łzy, rozgoryczenie, zdziwienie, a nawet niezrozumienie. Czytaj...

Przepis na upalny dzień? 5razy 'K': kawa (mrożona), kocyk, krem (z UV), kapelusz i Keret ;) [Po każdym krótkim opowiadaniu - łyk na ochłodę;)] Połączenie idealne - polecam! :)

Some really good, imaginative and well-told stories, like moon people who create tangible thoughts with determined shapes. There were also some uninteresting, boring stories, like a dog that keeps coming home. I've been singing "The Cat Came Back" since kindergarten. Turning the cat into a dog and t...

Originally posted here.Everybody hates him, except Uzi. I think there's this thing that after you off yourself, with the way it hurts and everything – and it hurts like hell – the last thing you give a shit about is somebody with nothing on his mind except singing about how unhappy he is. I mean if ...

There is a direct path between Keret's fevered imagination and his written page. There are no speed limits or detours. The stories won't be inhibited by oppressive laws of physics, or even by reality. These are short intense bursts of 'what ifs'. In "One Last Story and That's It", a demon shows ...

Jestem (to znaczy byłam) wielką fanką "Bluszcza". Urzekła mnie cała otoczka towarzysząca temu pismu - jego długa historia, jego tradycja, wydawane przez niego książki (plan wydania powieści Elizabeth Gaskell), jego grafika oraz niepowtarzalność. Towarzyszę mu od 2 numeru wydanego w 2008 roku. Miałam...

Many good stories in this book including Kneller's Happy Campers, the basis for the film Wristcutters: A Love Story. I'll keep an eye out for The Girl On The Fridge and other english translations of this author's work.

I read the first 3-4 stories when I first picked this book up, and then finished the rest this past week. I was really impressed by this collection. His stories are funny, complex, sometimes profound, and very relevant (how many review bingo words did I get there?). I expected quirky but I really do...
