Suddenly, a Knock on the Door Reviews

3.5
“What a great collection of short stories from Israel. These stories are wildly imaginative, ingenious, funny and profound. Lieland, Creative Writing, Unzipping are twisted and brilliant. What if all the lies you told suddenly came alive? What if humans split in two instead of reproducing? What would happen if you found a small zipper under your lover's tongue that revealed a whole different person inside? Other stories were profound and serious such as Teamwork, Black and Blue, Bitch which I did not expect at all but enjoyed enormously. My one complaint was the inclusion of Surprise Party which was too long and disrupted the flow of the book. Nonetheless this is a superb collection and I am a new fan of Etgar Keret.”
