From one of the most acclaimed masters of the short story form whom The New York Times calls ‘Genius’, this darkly funny collection of stories explores themes of identity, reality, and meaning.


Imagine a world in which you could take back the stupid thing you just said, unspill the coffee, avoid the accident, roll life back thirty seconds and do it over again — this time the right way. In Etgar Keret's universe, all things are possible. A man can take a yoga class that genuinely transforms his life. A son has the chance to redo a fateful exchange with his father. An alien can offer a guided tour of the destroyed earth. And an angry squirrel can wreck a wedding.


Ranging from sci-fi scenarios to fictional thought-experiments and short vignettes, the stories here all deliver the irreverence, surprises, existential unease, hope, and humanity we have come to expect from Etgar Keret — one of the most original and entertaining storytellers at work today.
