"...if you want to know how to enjoy life, you also have to know what sadness is. Otherwise it isn't worth a damn."

Thanks Celine for scattering my brain, thank Keret for balancing it with your 1 - 4 pages short stories about every persona imaginable with a touch of cynicism, erotica, morbidity, and humor. This author, who is apparently a household name in Tel Aviv, is genius. Well loosely. But really how many people can establish a plot, characters, with some depth, surprise, and relativity in less than 5 pages? well less than 5 short, spacey pages. He made me laugh about decapitated rabbits and children left to fend for themselves on top of refrigerators. You can find/read most of it on Google books. Thanks library.
