I am in awe of Keret's ability to simultaneously make me laugh while crying,explore the joy and horror of every day life with precision,brevity and great psychological depth. His recognition of and engagement with the absurd is profound and he never loses his humanity,his heart long the wayBrilliantly edgy,unsettling,Kafkaesque and often very funnyA reminder that writing can be accessible,creative,intelligent,transgressive,challenging,funny - and popular - all at the sameReading Fly Already is like settling down for a ride in a luxurious car with a world-class driver who has an extremely crazy worldview that doesn't interfere with his amazing driving. Is there any better way to see the world
