Stories include a birthday-party magician whose hat tricks end in horror and gore, a girl parented by a major household appliance, and the possessor of the lowest IQ in Mossad are the subjects of Etgar Keret's fertile imagination. The best of Keret's first collections that made him a household name in Israel and the major discovery of this last decade.

I really like short short stories. There are tons of stories in this thin little book, some of them are only a paragraph long. It's great, because when they're bad, they've over, and when they're good, it's so great to read something so concise that can still be beautiful. That is more beautiful for being so short, even.
It's difficult to do though...and a lot of these stories fall flat, but a few are lovely so it was worth it for me to read through the rest.
