Michael Handelzalts, the books editor of the Israeli daily Haaretz, praised Keret as one of Israel's major young writers. Keret retains a fierce sense of humour that manages to leave the reader with a twisted smile, even in response to a story like My Brother's Depressed, where a dog mauls a child. Others look at broader questions affecting Israel and Jews, such as Shoes, which undercuts the role of the Holocaust in determining contemporary Israeli identity.Īnd many are shockingly violent - but always a knife in the ribs, never a club over the head.
