A Horse Walks into a Bar by David Grossman
4.0

In “A Horse Walks into a Bar” David Grossman makes the impossible possible by masterly setting the entire book in a single place - a bar in Israel’s beach town Netanya - and by keeping the tension throughout the entire book at the hights of a thriller.
Grossman made me want to keep turning the pages and to burn the entire book at the same time. It’s an uncomfortable read: funny and tragic, captivating and repulsive - all at once. The reader can’t avoid becoming part of the dwindling public gathered at a local bar of Netanya to see Dovaleh G, an aging stand-up comedian, perform his one last unprecedented show.
