Author: Etkar Keret
Reading Etkar Keret’s Memoir feels like you are having a conversation with the author and he is telling one good story after another. In fact, the book reads like a bunch of short stories that happen to have taken place during seven years in his life during which he had a son and lost his father.
I have visited Tel Aviv a couple of times, and very close friend of mine is from Israel so I have a good understanding and appreciation for some of the challenges that Israeli’s face on a day to day basis. Here Etkar fondly recounts a few of these personal eccentricities with a keen sense of observation that makes you hang on to every word that he writes. You can see that Etkar doesn’t take himself too seriously and invites you to laugh at him and the folks that he hangs out with. As long as you can relate to the author you will find yourself in splits of laughter.
Read it and enjoy. It’s a short book and you will soon be begging for more.
