From one of the preeminent literary voices in Israel comes a darkly
funny collection of surrealist stories exploring the increasingly
complex relationship between humans and technology. Set in our world,
alternate realities, distant futures, and the immortal realm, the
stories in Autocorrect traverse the wide range of human experience.
With wit and creativity, Keret blends the absurd and the profound,
juxtaposing life's smallest details with weighty existential
questions. A man names an asteroid after his wife only to find that
it's on a collision course with Earth in "For the Woman Who Has
Everything." In "Squirrels," a widower's husband reincarnates as a
rodent, and "Eating Olives at the End of the World" considers proper
social etiquette in the face of destruction. Keret's collection speaks
to the uncertainty and fragility of our time, expertly capturing its
misunderstandings and miscommunications. His stories probe society's
uncomfortable truths, searching for meaning in our ever-changing
world.
