Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From Israel's most popular and acclaimed young writer.

Already featured on This American Life and Selected Shorts and in Zoetrope: All Story and L.A. Weekly, these short stories include a man who finds equal pleasure in his beautiful girlfriend and the fat, soccer-loving lout she turns into after dark; shrinking parents; a case of impotence cured by a pet terrier; and a pessimistic Middle Eastern talking fish. A bestseller in Israel, The Nimrod Flipout is an extraordinary collection from the preeminent Israeli writer of his generation.

Review:

"Stories that are short, strange, funny, deceptively casual in tone and affect, stories that sound like a joke but aren't." Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi

Synopsis:

A bestseller in Israel, this volume of short stories — from a case of impotence cured by a pet terrier to a pessimistic Middle Eastern talking fish — is an extraordinary collection from the preeminent Israeli writer of his generation.
