I think the world is changing, and these changes can actually improve the situation of the short story. But I don't think that publishers have internalized it.

Globe and Mail review: "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door"
Apr. 21st, 2012 | 02:20 am
"Anything can happen, and always does. It’s very scary, and also exhilarating. This you know, too: For all the terrible things that happen, humiliations and deaths by running over by scooter, life with Keret is very, very, appallingly funny."

NPR review: "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door"

"Keret is funny, snarly, profane and so contemporary that if he used more brand names you might accuse him of being Pop art."

For me, the term "writing routine" sounds like an oxymoron. It is a bit like saying "having-a-once-in-a-lifetime-insight-whi ch-makes-you-want-to burst-into-tears routine." There has never been anything routine-like about writing for me.

NY Times review: "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door"
Apr. 15th, 2012 | 01:17 am
"Reduced to their outlines, plots like [Keret's] can sound gimmicky. But Keret alights upon protagonists in the midst of psychic upheaval, willing to embrace the bizarre twists that deliver them to their appointed grace or ruin. The humor in their travails arises not from an effort to charm the reader but to confront the darkness that shadows our human folly."
