Hilarious, witty and always unusual, declared a 'genius' by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, Keret brings all of his prodigious talent to bear in this, his sixth bestselling collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong a household name in Israel, where he has been declared the voice of his generation, Keret has been acknowledged as one of the country's most radical and extraordinary writers.  Exuding a rare combination of depth and accessibility, Keret's tales overflow with absurdity, humour, longing and compassion, and though their circumstances are often strange and surreal, his characters are defined by a familiar and fierce humanity. A man barges into a writer's house and, holding a gun to his head, demands that he tell him a story, something to take him away from the real world.  A pathological liar discovers one day that all the lies he tells come true.  A young woman finds a zip in her boyfriend's mouth, and when she opens it he unfolds to reveal a completely different man inside. \u003ci\u003eSuddenly, a Knock on the Door\u003c\/i\u003e is at once Keret's most mature and most playful work yet, and establishes him as one of the great international writers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keret, Etgar \u0026 Shlesinger, Miriam \u0026 Englander, Nathan \u0026 Silverston, Sondra","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":48757351186771,"sku":"XV80701186678","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/keret-etgar-shlesinger-miriam-englander-nathan-silverston-sondra-suddenly-a-knock-on-the-door-xv80701186678-56393788326227.jpg?v=1728320711","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/suddenly-a-knock-on-the-door","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
