A brilliant, life-affirming, and hilarious memoir from a master storyteller.
The seven years between the birth of Etgar Keret’s son and the death of his father were good years, though still full of reasons to worry. Lev is born in the midst of a terrorist attack. Etgar’s father gets cancer. The threat of constant war looms over their home and permeates daily life.
What emerges from this dark reality is a series of sublimely absurd ruminations on everything from Etgar’s three-year-old son’s impending military service to the terrorist mind-set behind Angry Birds. There’s Lev’s insistence that he is a cat, releasing him from any human responsibilities or rules. Etgar’s siblings, all very different people who have chosen radically divergent paths in life, come together after his father’s shivah to experience the grief and love that tie a family together forever. This wise, witty memoir—Etgar’s first non-fiction book, and told in his inimitable style—is full of wonder and life and love, poignant insights, and irrepressible humor.
Etgar Keret is an Israeli writer known for his short stories, graphic novels, and scriptwriting for film and television. His books had been published in more than thirty languages.

In 2010, Keret received the Chevalier (Knight) Medallion of France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
“但是为什么?为什么你想要保护我?” “因为我爱你,我说,”因为你是我的儿子。因为一个父亲总是必须保护他的儿子。” “但是为什么?”列维坚持道,“为什么一个父亲就必须保护他的儿子?” “我们生活的这个世界有时候很险恶。而只有每个生到这世界上来的人,至少...
评分每一章节都在述说一个柔情又幽默的故事,作者的父亲,哥哥,姐姐,儿子,每一个都是特别的有爱和精神富足自由的存在。不论生活是否顺遂,都是认真用心的样子,让人动容,同时觉得内心生出无限力量。 “我看着哥哥穿着军裤,上身赤裸,身上文着一幅基地下方河谷的水彩画,我知道...
评分埃特加·凯雷特(Etgar Keret,1967- )以短篇小说见长的以色列作家,目前在特拉维夫大学担任讲师。埃特加·凯雷特的父母为大屠杀幸存者,但是在中东问题上,他主张和平协商,他曾说:“以色列的军队可以赢得战斗,但以色列人想要的和平与安宁却只能通过政治上的妥协来实现。”...
评分书是在亚马逊搞活动时买的,“以色列全国书店作品失窃率最高的作家”、“以色列最受年轻读者欢迎作家”这样的推荐标签看上去总是能轻而易举地唬住人。 不过促使我点下“加入购物车”按钮的,是因为看到了简介上写着该作者同时是《蓝色果冻海》电影导演。这部电影很早之前看过...
评分在废墟中,人们也能寻找到美好生活;在炮火中,人们也能找得到乐趣。这大概就是一种乐观的精神。 尽管时常被战争的阴霾笼罩,而且总是要面对生活中的各种琐事,各种不平等,名族间的冲突和不解,可是生活依旧继续着。 书中有多处“小故事”让人忍俊不禁: 接到推销电视频道的电...
Hilarious
评分I love this writer.
评分非常喜欢这本薄薄的回忆录,一改我认为回忆录就是大部头的印象。每篇故事都可以单独拿出来读,有的时候会心一笑,有的时候为之动容。连起来就是他儿子出生到他父亲离世的这七年。很多智慧在其中,看似平凡的生活小事,被作者一些,都有了生机和亮光。最爱他写到他父母的相识和他自己和妻子的相识,甜蜜,不做作。
评分极有趣!Witty!
评分私以为小说要写得真而平凡才是厉害,而回忆录要像Etgar Keret这样天马行空的挑战读者的神经才过瘾。
