A review by jeanneerin
The Nimrod Flipout by Etgar Keret, Institute for Translation of Hebrew Literature
5.0
Well, first off you need to know how hard it is to write a short story to appreciate the beauty and craft of these. Not that I could do it, but looking at the reviews by people who say Keret "just doesn't care" is infuriating to me…
These are beautiful and kooky and hurtful. I cried more than once, which was more than I laughed. I loved this book. I wanted to read through the whole thing in a night, but it requires time to digest, even the really short stories. I know I didn't understand all of them, but I FELT something every time I picked up this book.
