'Etgar Keret's short stories are fierce, funny, full of energy and insight, and at the same time they are often deep, tragic and very moving' - Amos Oz At a children's tea party, a magician tries to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but takes out only its head; a young man has a mother and girlfriend who each demand that he gives them the other one's heart; while a Nobel Laureate asks an orphan to perform a very strange task. In Etgar Keret's blackly comic stories the unexpected can, and usually does, happen. They are clever, quick, sometimes violent and often intensely poignant. They are, in short, brilliant.… (altro)

Etgar Keret - what a name! I’m not even sure how you pronounce it but you should remember it because this here is a very talented man. I’m not really a short story person but I do tend to read a few collections a year.

This wasn’t the first of Keret’s books I bought (that was Kneller’s Happy Campers) but it is the first I’ve read and I’m 99% sure he’s my favourite short story writer. Think George Saunders’ The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil/ Persuasion Nation meets Shaun Tan meets Kurt Vonnegut... maybe. I’m not sure, it’s been a while since I finished it and the memories aren’t as fresh but the one thing I do know is that this guy can write. His short stories do everything I could ask a short story to do: quickly involving me in characters’ plights, make me think ‘that’s a cool situation to write a story about’ and surprise me with a twist. There are of course other things but these particularly strike me as being hugely important in stories that have so little time to root. The other problem with short stories are the duds, but this was another thing that struck me reading Missing Kissinger: there are very few, if any, duds. I predict he will be little known but I urge you to give him a try as his short, leftfield, witty offerings are nothing short of brilliant. ( )

I have enjoyed all of the Etgar Keret books I've read, and this one is no different. However, the fact that this one is no different is cause for some mild critical comment. These brief and plainly told tales are generally excellent on their own, but they can be difficult to recall later, because one spends so little time with them. I would be interested to read something of greater length from him, because I think his absurdist views and black humor have so much potential. The stories reach toward the potential and then are over. They build and then end on a swift note like a strange joke with a percussive punch line.

This collection has some repeats from the other books of his I've read, but that's not a concern. Even when I realize I've read the story before, I generally don't recall it well enough to stop reading. Instead I enjoy it for the second (or sometimes third) time, and I suspect I'll feel the same way next time around. ( )

אוסף של סיפורים קצרצרים. מאוד עכשוויים, חלקם סתומים, חלקם אלימים, כולם מדכאים. הומלץ בחום על ידי נעם. נקרא על ידי בעניין מהול בחוסר נוחות. ( )

Surreal, unexpected, funny, devastating - Keret's stories are that and more. They can be about anything: Israeli border guards, ex-lovers, magicians, angels, or anteaters, but they always have something to say about the human condition, whether in a funny or heart-wrenching manner. Keret manages to say in a few pages, sometimes in a few lines, what other writers take hundreds of pages, or even several books to say. ( )

"Gaza Blues : Erzählungen" is the German translation of "Missing Kissinger/געגועי לקיסנג'ר". "Gaza Blues" is also the English title of a work listed under author Samir El-Youssef to which Etgar Keret also contributed, which in German is called: "Alles Gaza : geteilte Geschichten".
