Specialized in the brief, such that many other great storytellers of today as a Samantha Schweblin with whom you can find a certain tune, the good of etgar keret presents us with a volume of disruptive stories in what used to be his creative storyline.
The subject changes, the scenario rather, but that alchemist will and determination to always extract new aromas of humanism in the face of alienation remains. The excuse of the most pretentious fiction in the cosmos to offer us that astronaut's prism that sees the world, our inner world. A fascinating trip or rather a sum of trips without rest in which we lose luggage and miss the ship. But where we finally enjoy.
There are few writers like the Israeli Etgar Keret. His stories range between the fantastic, the scathing and the hilarious. His characters confront fatherhood and family, war and gambling, marijuana and cakes, memory and love. These stories never end as expected, but always surprise, entertain and move.
Breakdown at the edge of the galaxy -Winner in 2019 with the Sapir Prize and the National Jewish Book Award- has as its common thread the inability to communicate, to understand the world around us and, above all, to understand each other. But somehow, throughout its pages, through the author's deep love for humanity and our hapless existence, there is a light that shines and keeps alive the spark of a universal connection.
