Several years ago I saw a fascinating movie called Wristcutters: A Love Story, did a little research and found out it was based on a novella titled Kneller’s Happy Campers by Etgar Keret.  After a bit more research I found Kneller’s Happy Campers in a book of short stories called The Bus Diver Who Wanted To Be God.  Since that discovery I’ve had a great love for Keret and his wonderful short stories.

“Keret can do more with six strange and funny paragraphs than most writers can with 600 pages.” -Kyle Smith, People

That blurb from the back cover of Keret’s latest book, Suddenly, a Knock on the Door says it perfectly.  Keret can do things with short stories that I’ve never seen before.  He is truly a master of his craft.
