Fly already

Fly already: stories / Etgar Keret, translated by Sondra Silverston, Nathan Englander, Jessica Cohen, Miriam Shlesinger and Yardenne Greenspan.  Read by a full cast, 209 pgs.

Keret is the master.  There is no weak story in this set, they are all fabulous.  I also applaud the narrators.  Each did a wonderful job and I wanted to listen to all in one sitting.  Perhaps my favorite is the story with the kids who believe the dad who left them came back as a rabbit.  They are SURE the rabbit is their dad but realize this is upsetting to their mother.  Imagine their joy when they meet another kid whose dad became a rabbit...(he is SURE it is his dad because his dad limped due to a war injury and this rabbit also limps). How can anyone find fault with this logic?  This is a fabulous collection of interesting and occasionally odd stories.
