Interesting collection of stories with a Kahlo-esque feel to the art. I enjoyed the unexpected (and often grotesque) turn of events in all the stories. Surreal plots with the complexities of familial bonds and secrets.

4.5 stars. Really odd stories with unexpected endings! Love the quirky art style too. Definitely want to obtain a copy for my own library so I can revisit in the future :)

The cover had me primed for something softer, but this was funny, dark and weird. Culturally specific, creepy noir with a quirky delicate touch. Awesome.

Felt a little fast, a little draft-ish, also sometimes just too weird for my taste.

I much preferred Exit Wounds, but I did enjoy this short story collection too (set in Israel).

Actually 4.5 stars.
So its not just another comic book. Its a very interesting book, with the author restyling how graphic novels usually are. A pleasant blend of short stories that are witty, real and fun to pore over.
I am not really a fan of short stories but when it comes to reads like this, its difficult to resist. Completely effortless writing. Who would have drawn Israel in a better way?
Jamilti, is such a beautiful word, one that I would always have in my mind and wont hesitate to lay out for my audience as well. Rutu Modan is a writer worth reading!

Strange and beautiful and uncomfortable, and I was very sorry when I arrived at THE END.

Meh. A collection of graphic short stories published on the back of the far superior Exit Wounds. Aside from the title story, there's little here that's satisfying. Shame.
