Suckers Never Die: 52 Hilariously Awkward Short Stories to Brighten Your Day
Everyone knows that suckers don’t die, they’re only replaced. But in Gabi Remeni’s new anthology, they are not merely replaced. They are alive, kicking, and funnier than ever.
For anyone who ever held seats at a concert for their friends only for no one to show up; for anyone who searched for months to find the best deal on a plane ticket and discovered their rowmates all paid lower fares; for anyone who took up a new diet just to find out someone found it’s actually extremely bad for your stomach. With a sharp wit and a keen eye for life’s absurdities, Suckers Never Die captures the chaos, charm, and comedy of our daily routines. A must-read for anyone who believes that laughter truly is the best medicine.

Comedy in the Chaos of Everyday Life...
Through a sharp, funny lens, Gabi Remeni's Suckers Never Die is a hilarious collection of short stories that celebrates the absurdities of modern life and pokes fun at the flaws of human nature. Translated from Hebrew by Michael Waisfeld, this book of 52 stories offers a funny view of the human experience of being a "sucker"—those times when simple bad luck, inexperience, or good intentions produce hilariously disastrous results. Remeni’s storytelling captures the core of human resiliency in the face of life's continuous curveballs—both laugh-out-loud humorous and gently sad.
In the end, anyone who has ever been caught in one of life's unforeseen traps will find Suckers Never Die to be a delightful read. This book is exceptional because of Remeni's ability to turn everyday annoyances into hilarious moments and find humor in the ordinary. It's a celebration of the sucker that lives inside each of us—the person who keeps trying, failing, and laughing despite everything. This book serves as a reminder that while suckers may never die, they certainly know how to live, whether you're laughing at the narrator's obsession with making salads or cringing at his disastrous attempts to win his wife over. Highly recommended. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
