The Nimrod Flipout Stories

<p><b>From Israel's most popular and acclaimed young writer—"Stories that are short, strange, funny, deceptively casual in tone and affect, stories that sound like a joke but aren't" (Yann Martel, author of <i>Life of Pi</i>)</b><br><br>Already featured on <i>This American Life</i> and <i>Selected Shorts</i> and in <i>Zoetrope: All Story</i> and <i>L.A. Weekly</i>, these short stories include a man who finds equal pleasure in his beautiful girlfriend and the fat, soccer-loving lout she turns into after dark; shrinking parents; a case of impotence cured by a pet terrier; and a pessimistic Middle Eastern talking fish. A bestseller in Israel, <i>The Nimrod Flipout</i> is an extraordinary collection from the preeminent Israeli writer of his generation.</p>
