Über diesen Titel

A brilliant, life-affirming, and hilarious memoir from a “genius” (The New York Times) and master storyteller.

The seven years between the birth of Etgar Keret’s son and the death of his father were good years, though still full of reasons to worry. Lev is born in the midst of a terrorist attack. Etgar’s father gets cancer. The threat of constant war looms over their home and permeates daily life.

What emerges from this dark reality is a series of sublimely absurd ruminations on everything from Etgar’s three-year-old son’s impending military service to the terrorist mind-set behind Angry Birds. There’s Lev’s insistence that he is a cat, releasing him from any human responsibilities or rules. Etgar’s siblings, all very different people who have chosen radically divergent paths in life, come together after his father’s shivah to experience the grief and love that tie a family together forever.

This wise, witty memoir - Etgar’s first nonfiction book published in America, and told in his inimitable style - is full of wonder and life and love, poignant insights, and irrepressible humor.

Kritikerstimmen

“Terrific...As funny, as dark, and somehow as sweet as his fiction.” (David Remnick)

"At once funny and profound, The Seven Good Years is a gem. Etgar Keret approaches memoir the way he does fiction - from surprising angles, with a sly wit, and bracing frankness. Read him, and the world will never look the same again.” (Claire Messud)

“I don’t know how Etgar Keret does it, but he can turn anything into a brilliant story. The Seven Good Years is full of them, and they happen to be true, and full of love, kindness, wisdom, humor and stuff I long for as a reader but cannot quite name. Keret’s writing is soul-healing.” (Aleksandar Hemon)

The author has a very cool style of writing, mixing serious issues with humour, and tells inspiring and interesting stories about the people of his life. I loved the stories about his Dad.

a great read
