Part Kafka, part Vonnegut, with the concerns and comedic delivery of Woody
Allen, Etgar Keret is a brilliant and original master of the short story.
Hilarious, witty, and always unusual, declared “a genius” by The New York
Times
, Keret brings all of his prodigious talent to bear in Suddenly, A
Knock on the Door
, his sixth bestselling collection.
Long a household name in Israel, where he has been declared the voice of his
generation, Keret has been acknowledged as one of the country’s most radical and
extraordinary writers. Exuding a rare combination of depth and accessibility,
Keret’s tales overflow with absurdity, humor, sadness, and compassion, and
though their circumstances are often strange and surreal, his characters are
defined by a familiar and fierce humanity. Suddenly, Knock on the Door is
at once Keret’s most mature and most playful work yet, and establishes him as
one of the great global writers of the twenty-first century.
