Cover of The Girl on the Fridge

The Girl on the Fridge

A birthday-party magician whose hat tricks end in horror and gore; a girl parented by a major household appliance; the possessor of the lowest IQ in Mossad — such are the denizens of Etgar Keret's dark and fertile mind. The Girl on the Fridgecontains the best of Keret's first collections, the ones that made him a household name in Israel and the major discovery of this last decade.
