In addition to "A Little Abnormality at the Edge of the Galaxy" and "Suddenly, there was a Knock on the Door", this is another collection of classic stories by the short story master Etgar Keret. This book contains 34 imaginative short stories: a man's beautiful girlfriend turns into a rough guy who loves football at night; a pair of parents whose bodies are shrinking; a world where thoughts can be transformed into shapes; a pessimistic talking fish... In this collection of wise and ironic short stories, Israeli writer Keret has written many ironic things, keenly outlining the conditions of modern human life, making you laugh and then think deeply.

Following "Suddenly, There Was a Knock at the Door", this is a new collection of stories written by the master of short stories Etgar Keret. There is no one like Etgar Keret. His stories often take place at the crossroads of the strange, the searing, and the jubilant. What his characters struggle with are parents and family, war and games, tobacco, alcohol and cake, memory and love. These stories never reach the usually expected ending, but they always bring surprise, joy and touching. "The Penultimate Time I Got Shot Out of a Cannon" tells the story of a sad and funny circus cannonball trapeze artist. "Compressed Car" tells the story of a man who displayed a car compressed into a block of iron in his living room. "To the Moon and Back" tells the story of a man who wants to buy a store cash register as a gift for his son. "Good Things" tells the story of a homeless man who develops an app to locate homeless people, and then allows people to do good deeds and get comfort - although doing good does not always bring comfort and good results. "Sugar Cake" tells the story of a 50-year-old useless son who won the lottery but gave up the prize and chose to continue living with his mother. "Mashed Potatoes with Dad" tells the story of two little daughters who want to save their father who turns into a rabbit. "Ladder to Heaven" tells the story of a melancholy angel who wants to return to the human world...
