In Etgar Keret's universe, all things are possible. A man can take a yoga class that genuinely transforms his life. A son has the chance to redo a fateful exchange with his father. An alien can offer a guided tour of the destroyed earth. And an angry squirrel can wreck a wedding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRanging from sci-fi scenarios to fictional thought-experiments and short vignettes, the stories here all deliver the irreverence, surprises, existential unease, hope, and humanity we have come to expect from Etgar Keret - one of the most original and entertaining storytellers at work today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Universal and timeless.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-The New York Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e' E verything he writes is suffused with a wan metaphysical wit: you come to expect the rug-pull, the sad trombone.
