A Horse Walks into a Bar is unlike anything Grossman has yet done.Please read our complete rules page before participating. A lamentation and a plea for compassion and empathy. But is also suffused with compassion, acutely attuned to the complexity of individual lives and the solutions people find to the challenge of that complexity." - Financial Times "A devastating work.
An unsettling, cathartic, confessional stream-of-consciousness soliloquy." - Haaretz " raw and fiercely emotional book." - The Spectator "In little more than 200 pages, Grossman brings us to the nerve center of his psyche." - The Jerusalem Post "Few writers hold a more unflinching mirror up to Israeli society than Grossman. It takes an author of Mr Grossman's stature to channel not a failed stand-up but a shockingly effective one, and to give him salty, scabrous gags that-in Jessica Cohen's savoury translation-raise a guilty laugh." - The Economist "Grossman has once more proved himself as one of Israel's finest literary alchemists. in which absurdity and humour are used to probe the darkest corners of the human condition." - The Sunday Times (London) " pitch-black comedy. Grossman seems to be channeling Philip Roth, circa Portnoy's Complaint, with a colloquial voice that badgers, bullies, berates and beseeches." - San Francisco Chronicle "A short, shocking masterpiece. In this funnyman's sad, grotesque performance, Grossman reaffirms his power to entertain and unnerve." - The Boston Globe "Arresting. This isn't just a book about Israel: it's about people and societies horribly malfunctioning." - The Guardian "As cunning and compelling as the stand-up guy at its center.
Brilliant, blistering." - The Washington Post " has transcended genre or rather, he has descended deep into the vaults beneath. As beautiful as it is unusual, and it's nearly impossible to put down." -NPR "Bewitching. magnificently comic and sucker-punch-tragic excursion into brilliance." -Gary Shteyngart, The New York Times Book Review "Unsettling and mesmerizing.
