These stories/sketches are largely unfulfilling; and that's likely why I've neglected to continue with this collection after nearly two months, even as a breezy read. "Uterus" is likely my favorite of the nine that I did finish, while most others fall short or come over as odd jokes or mean-spirited satire, especially "Cocked and Locked" (wow, this is one-star material). So, I'm sadly done here- moving on.

"Israel's hippest young writer?" Yeah, maybe. Thanks go to Russ for the recommendation, particularly the intrigue from hearing Willem Dafoe read 'Mystique' (not in this collection). The titular story has a definite Donald Barthelme style and tone, but I certainly like it. Not so much with the bare-bones cynicism of 'Goodman.' Keret's only proven inconsistency to me thus far, but I'll continue reading.
