  • The Independent

    “Much of the joy in reading Keret comes from his unexpected shifts. Stories may begin as a man pitching a new board game to a multi-national corporation, a childhood lie, a son’s anger at a grandmother, a lover’s strangely vocal orgasm, but they are unlikely to end up anywhere approaching their obvious trajectory. Underpinning all of these tricks and sleights of hand, however, is a deep concern with the tensions between public and private, with the thoughts we have about ourselves versus other people’s perceptions.”

  • The Daily Mail on "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door"

    “If you read only one book of short stories this year, it should be this one”.
