eyegee 's review for:
A Horse Walks into a Bar
by David Grossman
I read this because it's on the Mann Booker Prize long list. It took a bit of work to get into it, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The book is like nothing else I've read. The plot construct is unusual - a stand up comic reaches back into his past one night during a show, and tells difficult stories from his childhood. Two friends from his youth are in the audience, and their reactions fill out the picture. Set in Israel. The characters were children who grew up there just after WWII.
