Missing Kissinger is a powerful new collection of stories from Israel's bestselling Etgar Keret - most of which are being published in English for the first time
Born in Tel Aviv in 1967, Etgar Keret is one of the leading voices in Israeli literature and cinema. He is the author of five bestselling collections, which have been translated into twenty-nine languages. His writing has been published in the New York Times, le Monde, the Guardian, the Paris Review and Zoetrope. He has also written a number of award-winning screenplays, and Jellyfish, his first film as a director along with his wife Shira Geffen, won the Camera d'Or prize for best first feature at Cannes in 2007. In 2010 he was awarded the Chevalier medallion of France's Order of Arts and Letters.
This collection of short stories is easily one of the most
memorable, moving and laugh-aloud-funny books you'll read in a long
time
*Daily Mail*
Many of the very short stories in this collection are more
thought-provoking than the average novel
*Independent on Sunday*
A collection of short, surreal fragments that place the reader in
peculiar and often moving worlds
*Metro*
A beguiling, savagely funny collection of stories...he'll leave you
with more questions than answers but you'll feel all the better for
it
*New Statesman*
These are 46 horror stories from Israel, though they acrobatically
shape-shift from the political to the fabulous, and are outwardly
comic... I enjoyed these wild, blackly inventive pieces very much
at times
*Guardian*
