"Keret often punctuates his stories with [...] upsetting but also vaguely funny ending. When these final sentences hit, they hit hard, like literary afterburners that push the stories deeper into your gut."

"Writing a short story is a work of art: In its density it does not tolerate any free time nor is it capable of bearing the superfluous. With Keret, there is never a moment's pause and there is nothing extra. He has no obligations, in the liberating and creative sense of the concept; he enhances the art of the short story."
