Etgar Keret: In Short

One of the most original and entertaining storytellers at work today, Etgar Keret is known for his dark humour, off-the-wall imagination, and deceptively whimsical short fiction. The internationally acclaimed Israeli author of books including Suddenly a Knock on the Door and Fly Already discusses his latest collection, Autocorrect, and his sense that the dark picture it paints of the world is ‘just right’ for our times, in conversation with Daniel Hahn.
