Etgar Keret recommends
Stockholm (2023)
Noa Yedlin
"Too funny, too sad, too real, and too preposterous, just like life. Noa Yedlin's Stockholm is the most entertaining book I've read in a long time."
My Heart (2021)
Semezdin Mehmedinović
"Intelligent, honest, and full of heart, Mehmedinovic's novel has all the qualities one might seek in a friend. Like a friend, it is honest enough to tell you even the harshest of truths, and, like a true friend, it ensures that you will never feel alone while you read it, even in its most heartbreaking moments."
The Last Interview (2020)
Eshkol Nevo
"Eshkol Nevo is a brilliant literary chemist who succeeds in extracting from daily life’s most mundane events the deepest crystallized essence of the contemporary Israeli psyche."
