From one of the preeminent literary voices in Israel comes a darkly funny collection of surrealist stories exploring the increasingly complex relationship between humans and technology.

Set in our world, alternate realities, distant futures, and the immortal realm, the stories in Autocorrect traverse the wide range of human experience. With wit and creativity, Keret blends the absurd and the profound, juxtaposing life’s smallest details with weighty existential questions. A man names an asteroid after his wife only to find that it’s on a collision course with Earth in “For the Woman Who Has Everything.” In “Squirrels,” a widower’s husband reincarnates as a rodent, and “Eating Olives at the End of the World” considers proper social etiquette in the face of destruction.

Keret’s collection speaks to the uncertainty and fragility of our time, expertly capturing its misunderstandings and miscommunications. His stories probe society’s uncomfortable truths, searching for meaning in our ever-changing world.
