Serling Modern Israel Lecture: An Evening with Etgar Keret

Etgar Keret is an internationally acclaimed Israeli writer and filmmaker. Known for his short stories, rarely extending beyond three or four pages, Keret fuses the bizarre with the banal, and offers a window on a surreal world that is both dark and comic. Keret's books have been published in over 45 languages and are bestsellers in Israel. He won the prestigious Sapir Prize and the Prime Minister's Prize. More than 60 short movies and full features were based on his short stories.
