Fly Already: Stories by Etgar Keret
4.0
While there are a few skips in here, there's just something about Keret's writing that really resonates with me.
If you pick up this volume, expect a lot of "nothing happens but somehow you feel very lonely and are faced with the absurdity of life". A lot of the stories are experimental snippets but a few are more complete. My favourite, by far, was tabula rasa.
Recommended if you enjoy modern fiction, are comfortable reading with stories seeped in loneliness as well as intergenerational trauma due to the Holocaust, and don't mind some existential absurdity to wrap it all up.
