Suddenly there's a knock on the door.

The story “Close Your Eyes” begins with the words: “I know a man who dreams all day long.” Etgar Keret hopes that his reader does too. There is everything here: a three-story lie, and lightning-fast reincarnations, and a poignant surprise, and the harsh truth about how the devil and the demon came to terms under the black forest. Here are short stories about a fictional world that can be embodied before our eyes.
Keratov's stories are carefully constructed, finely tuned to meaning, exposing the nerve and reflecting the chaos of everyday life in Western civilization.
