The Bus Driver Who Wanted to be God and Other Stories by Etgar Keret

4.0

Although I barely read short stories, this collection was unlike anything I've read before. The stories are strange, surreal, dark, unique and ironic. The book includes 21 short stories with a novella in the end. Etger Keret did a wonderful job reflecting the decisions and mistakes we make and other harsh truths about life in his writing. I took my time reading the book. My personal favorites are : Pipe, Breaking the Pig, Hole in the Wall, A Souvenir of Hell. Each of the stories felt so real and honest that I just had to sit and let everything sink in. And the novella was definitely a cherry on the top. Loved it.
