The Girl on the Fridge, by Etgar Keret
4.0
This book is, in turns, like
-- a bag of M&Ms. Each story is so short, you keep reading just one more, just one more... until guilt finally catches up with consumption
-- a literary peepshow. You get quick glimpses into extremely personal layers of everyday people's not-so-everyday thoughts and imaginings. Some are mesmerizing, some you wish, fruitlessly, that you could unsee.
-- a sideways step into a logically sound yet wholly impossible alternate "today".
-- a hint of what the world might look like to someone who has slowly gone mad and hasn't noticed yet.
Not for everyone, but definitely recommend it for Emma, possibly Jessica.
