The Girl on the Fridge by Etgar Keret

3.0

---

I found this short short fiction anthology by Israeli hipster author Etgar Keret in a Little Free Library and took it to Cancun over summer vacation, thinking the small bites would be digestible. They were, fairly. Almost uniformly they have one decisive point to make, often on the absurdity of violence, hammered home with a tidy half-twist at the end that erases other possible interpretations. A few were resonant enough to reread and really think about, including the story the collection is named for.
