A review by mariaellabetos
The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God & Other Stories by Etgar Keret

2.0

Not exactly likeable.

I've have my first encounter with Keret in reading his other collection, The Girl on the Fridge. It was funny and absurd, filled with Cliffhangers and highs that you find in rushing through the flash fiction.

This time around, I got bored with his Novella. Plus, my mom and I have had discussion about Israeli literature and why it seemed like
bleak and dark and humorless
. I am not adept with with their history and writing styles, but in this collection, when it gets longer, it became more boring. Some stories are not even worth remembering.

I have had also moments of slump when I was reading this book. #SorryNotSorry
