"For the surrealist, short story lover in your life. Half humor, half horror, and written so well that the unexpected makes sense." Alex B., Powells.com
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:
