The Nimrod Flipout

The Nimrod Flipout: Stories | Etgar Keret

5 posts | 4 read | 2 reading | 5 to read

From Israel's most popular and acclaimed young writer�"Stories that are short, strange, funny, deceptively casual in tone and affect, stories that sound like a joke but aren't" (Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi) Already featured on This American Life and Selected Shorts and in Zoetrope: All Story and L.A. Weekly, these short stories include a man who finds equal pleasure in his beautiful girlfriend and the fat, soccer-loving lout she turns into after dark; shrinking parents; a case of impotence cured by a pet terrier; and a pessimistic Middle Eastern talking fish. A bestseller in Israel, The Nimrod Flipout is an extraordinary collection from the preeminent Israeli writer of his generation.

Meh

so-so

The first story Fatso was the best. Then it went downhill. Glittery Eyes is interesting. The story about identical twin men marrying identical twin women needed a bit more explanation. Interesting that this library book was an ARC.

Suzze That is weird. I've never seen an ARC at the library. Seems like they'd want to be sure they had a finished, corrected copy. 8y
