    <body><![CDATA[I'm beginning to think Etgar Keret's work can be just as effective in any medium. While the art wasn't in the styles I gravitate toward the story-telling is the reason to read this book. The artist pick up on what is essential Keret and make his work translate into images. Overall a nice quick read....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75756017">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm re-reading this as part of this month's extra-curricular writing project (that's supposed to sound flip, not pretnetious. I hope it comes across that way). It's really good, if slightly uneven mix-- I like Keret, and I really like the Actus Tragicus folks.

    <body><![CDATA[5 illustrators interpret etgar keret stories, rendering them shorter and even more surreal than they originally were. Something strange about reading this right after reading James Tate. They have similar minds, the thread of events in their narratives wanders in haphazard, surreal, and wonderful wa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24026995">more...</a>]]></body>
