<DIV> <DIV>Already featured on This American Life and Selected Shorts and in Zoetrope: All Story and L.A. Weekly, these short stories include a man who finds equal pleasure in his beautiful girlfriend and the fat, soccer-loving lout she turns into after dark; shrinking parents; a case of impotence cured by a pet terrier; and a pessimistic Middle Eastern talking fish. A bestseller in Israel, The Nimrod Flipout is an extraordinary collection from the preeminent Israeli writer of his generation.</DIV>]]> 34065 3.91 1859 365 2004 836957 1592641059 9781592641055 85 <![CDATA[The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & Other Stories]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178781107m/836957.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178781107s/836957.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/836957.The_Bus_Driver_Who_Wanted_To_Be_God_Other_Stories 4.11 422 The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God & Other Stories stings and thrills with fierce fables of modern life. Set in landscapes ranging from "this armpit town outside Austin, Texas" to "this village in Uzbekistan that was built right smack at the mouth of Hell," these stories lay their plots' central tensions out plainly: "Dad wouldn't buy me a Bart Simpson doll," one begins. Then they take off like little roller coasters, careening through the pathos of Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son, the clowning of David Sedaris's Barrel Fever, the in-your-face violence of Quentin Tarantino, and the bewildered alienation of Franz Kafka. But readers need not know any of Keret's sources to enjoy his stories fully. The Israeli writer's aphorisms leap off the page and lodge themselves in the mind: "There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed." Keret's vernacular prose is fun to read, and his vision of the world is weirdly comforting. Happiness never really flourishes, but small hopes and graces abound. --Michael Joseph Gross]]> 34065 3.91 1859 365 2001 2130007 0374531056 9780374531058 102 <![CDATA[The Girl on the Fridge: Stories]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2130007.The_Girl_on_the_Fridge_Stories 3.70 409 The Girl on the Fridge contains the best of Keret’s first collections, the ones that made him a household name in Israel and the major discovery of this last decade.</DIV></DIV>]]> 34065 3.91 1859 365 2006 60426 1891867903 9781891867903 12 <![CDATA[Pizzeria Kamikaze]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542068m/60426.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542068s/60426.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60426.Pizzeria_Kamikaze 3.91 91 34065 3.91 1859 365 2000 60427 0701179902 9780701179908 7 <![CDATA[Missing Kissinger]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542069m/60427.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542069s/60427.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60427.Missing_Kissinger 4.19 62 34065 3.91 1859 365 1994 60430 1592641555 9781592641550 10 <![CDATA[Jetlag: Five Graphic Novellas]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542070m/60430.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542070s/60430.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60430.Jetlag_Five_Graphic_Novellas 3.80 49 34065 3.91 1859 365 2006 1933614 1 <![CDATA[אניהו]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240849269m/1933614.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240849269s/1933614.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1933614._ 4.40 10 34065 3.91 1859 365 2002 60425 0954054245 9780954054243 2 <![CDATA[Gaza Blues]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542068m/60425.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542068s/60425.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60425.Gaza_Blues 3.53 19 34067 3.62 29 3 34065 3.91 1859 365 2004 60428 0763622478 9780763622473 1 <![CDATA[Dad Runs Away with the Circus]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542069m/60428.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170542069s/60428.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60428.Dad_Runs_Away_with_the_Circus 3.77 13 Dad demonstrates that it's never too late to shine in the spotlight in this quirky book about following your dreams.

"The circus is in town!" Dad roared.
"And we're all going to see it!"

Audrey and Zach are still half-asleep — and can't help stifling yawns — when Dad bursts in with his announcement. Dad is so excited, he starts practicing daring stunts before they even leave for the show. Under the big top, Dad's enthusiasm is downright embarrassing, and Audrey and Zach suspect it has something to do with the generation gap. But even they could never guess just how carried away their dad is going to get! With striking graphic artwork by one of Israel's top illustrators and comic-book artists — splendidly showcased in a double gatefold spread — an acclaimed Israeli author brings his talents to the world of picture books for the first time.]]> 34065 3.91 1859 365 2004 1601626 2742735488 9782742735488 2 <![CDATA[La Colo de Kneller]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1601626.La_Colo_de_Kneller 3.43 7 34065 3.91 1859 365 353624 3.47 15 3 1998 6430755 9788374143424 0 <![CDATA[Rury]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240848088m/6430755.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240848088s/6430755.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6430755-rury 4.60 5 34065 3.91 1859 365 2915432 4.77 13 0 2007 344182 965130782X 9789651307829 0 <![CDATA[Tsinorot]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/344182.Tsinorot 4.00 3 34065 3.91 1859 365 1992 1249536 9659022107 9789659022106 1 <![CDATA[Jetlag]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182255630m/1249536.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182255630s/1249536.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1249536.Jetlag 3.33 3 34065 3.91 1859 365 295672 3.67 1084 251 952667 3.17 6 1 2772660 3.31 13 4 3006034 3.31 13 4 3006035 3.31 13 4 3006036 3.33 3 1 1998 6486725 2742773894 9782742773893 0 <![CDATA[Pipelines]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6486725-pipelines 5.00 2 34065 3.91 1859 365 2170876 3442734991 9783442734993 1 <![CDATA[Mond im Sonderangebot. 33 Short Stories]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2170876.Mond_im_Sonderangebot_33_Short_Stories 5.00 1 34065 3.91 1859 365 2003 3783001 3630620256 9783630620251 0 <![CDATA[Gaza Blues]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3783001.Gaza_Blues 5.00 2 Gaza Blues, diesem hinreißenden Erzählband von Etgar Keret, purzeln die Helden nur so durcheinander. Es sind kleine Jungen, die sich mit einem Sparschwein aus Porzellan anfreunden, weil ihnen der Vater keine Bart-Simpson-Puppe kaufen will oder große Jungen, die sich Nachts, wenn ihre Frauen schlafen, hinausschleichen und ins Auto setzen, um sich aus ihrem Alltagmherauszuträumen. Aber egal, wer sie sind, eines haben diese Figuren gemeinsam, sie sind allesamt Loser, Typen, die an die von Woody Allen erinnern. Solche, die sich beim Kämpfen gegen Windmühlen noch entschuldigen, daß sie dem Gegner Unannehmlichkeiten bereiten könnten.

Der Autor schiebt seine Protagonisten durch das Tel Aviv der neunziger Jahre und führt sie stets an die Grenzen von Komik und Verzweiflung, Poesie und Brutalität. Mit einem scharfen Auge für ungewöhnliche Perspektiven schafft es Etgar Keret, dem Leser ein völlig neues, frisches Bild Israels zu vermitteln. Seine kurzen Prosatexte schweben zwischen eindringlichen Alltagsstudien und bizarr überzogenen, zum Teil grotesken Bildern. So zum Beispiel, wenn sich in der Geschichte "Der schwere Wind" ein paar junge Leute mit dem Südwind anfreunden und dieser dann, bei Haschzigaretten und Musik von den Doors, beschließt, von nun ab bei ihnen zu bleiben.

In Israel war Gaza Blues wochenlang auf der Bestsellerliste. Da gehört er auch in Deutschland hin! --Anne Hauschild

Их существование обыденно - и абсурдно, они вызывают отвращение - и сострадание. Трагизм, а порой и трагикомизм этой прозы, ее несомненная оригинальность принесли автору мировую славу и признание. Его произведения переведены на десятки языков.
