With the release of his critically acclaimed movie, Jellyfish, Etgar Keret has gained a name for himself as a gifted director. In Israel, however, Keret gained his fame for his literary works, especially his short stories. Some of these stories, newly translated into English as “The Girl on the Fridge,” are reviewed quite favorably in the New York Times. Now American audiences can become more familiar with this unique author, whom the Times calls a “an acclaimed spokesman for his generation of Israelis.”
