Edgar Keret is the most important and popular Israeli author of the younger generation. With his short stories, sharp as a stiletto, which sometimes do not exceed fifty words, he managed to become a symbol of an entire generation, undermining myths entrenched in national consciousness and seeking - in a provocative but by no means cynical way - fundamental ethical principles. Black humor, bitter irony, and (anti-)heroes - teenagers and young or marginalized individuals, who struggle to balance between logic and absurdity - make up the tragically humorous, minimalist world of each story. Keret does not follow established formats; each story is different from the previous one, and together they create a masterfully original work that demonstrates his genius imagination and freshness of thought.
