Suddenly, a Knock on the Door: StoriesStories by Etgar Keret. “Short stories. Bringing up a child, lying to the boss, placing an order in a fast food restaurant: in Etgar Keret’s new collection, daily life is complicated, dangerous and full of yearning. In his most playful and most mature work yet, the living and the dead, silent children and talking animals, dreams and waking life coexist in an uneasy world. Overflowing with absurdity, humor, sadness and compassion. (Barnard Book Club).
