Selain dari tujuan koleksi peribadi, jujurnya aku beli buku ini semata-mata sebab nak baca Kneller's Happy Campers. Ini buku ke-4 dari Etgar Keret yang aku ada- dan sama macam yang lain-lain, buku ini tidaklah menghampakan. Quite interesting dengan jalan kisah yang berkisar harian (kebanyakkannya) tapi diselit twisted imagination milik Keret- aku rasa seperti nak hidup dalam poket imaginasi Keret, punggah apa patut.
Beberapa kisah yang aku suka- Kneller's Happy Campers (kisah paling berhelai-helai yang sungguh surreal dan pelik), The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God (aku suka ideologi pemandu bas dan gelaran 'Happiness' yang diberi Eddie kepada gadis yang sanggup makan masakan dia), Katzenstein (entah la kenapa suka cerita pasal neraka ni tapi aku rasa kisah ni kelakar dan kasihan) dan ada beberapa kisah lain yang juga sama pelik, aneh dan lucu.
Aku bagi 4 bintang. Mungkin bila-bila aku bosan, aku akan baca lagi buku ini.

I read the first 3-4 stories when I first picked this book up, and then finished the rest this past week. I was really impressed by this collection. His stories are funny, complex, sometimes profound, and very relevant (how many review bingo words did I get there?). I expected quirky but I really don't think they are.
The last piece reminded me of a Kelly Link story (there are lots of other similarities there) and would like to read both of them again back to back.

Not bad for a book that I found in a free pile on the street, he is very creative, imaginative and occasionally disturbing.

this is a book of really really short fiction. in fact the novella is about the length of a normal short story, but what they lack in length they make up for in goodness.

Çok güzeldi bence. Çoğu hikaye olağandışı unsurlar içeriyordu, fakat insan yine de etkileniyor. Hiçbir şey anlamadığım hikayeler de oldu -benden kaynaklanan bir şey olduğunu düşünüyorum. "Duvardaki Delik" çok güzeldi, kitabın adını aldığı "Tanrı Olmak İsteyen Otobüs Şoförü" de. Bazıları için keşke öyle bitmeseydi dediğim de oldu; yine de güzeldi. Yazarın diğer kitaplarını da okumayı düşünüyorum.
