How to describe the Israeli writer Etgar Keret's stories? Sci-fi scenarios, vignettes, thought experiments, fables, parables... Hauntingly re-readable * Spectator * It's hard to think of another writer able to imbue deadpan comedy with the profound range of emotions that Etgar Keret achieves... Essential reading for fractured times * Observer * Keret's deft lightness of touch, his humour and his acute eye for detail are all present and correct... Autocorrect is everything we'd hoped for from a new Etgar Keret collection * Bookmunch * Autocorrect isn't so much a book as a library of tiny books, from an author who conveys as well as any I can think of just how much fun you can have with a short story * Guardian * The beauty of Keret's stories rests with his imaginative playfulness * ArtsHub * The stories make up a wonderfully varied kind of conversation, which, underneath the intellectual shine, suggests very real worries: about ageing, and relationships, and the pace of cultural change * TLS * [ Autocorrect] conjures a world instantly recognisable then suddenly surreal, packing in comedic dialogue * Scottish Mail on Sunday * Alien space ships, parallel worlds, rogue virtual reality, reincarnation and the afterlife all play their part in disrupting the lives of Keret's down-to-earth characters who are attempting to deal with love, loss, faith and failure... Deft and inventive * Irish Daily Mail * Etgar Keret is a genius. Dark and funny and weird and incisive and honest and magical and heartbreaking. He is truly original. I needed this. We all need this -- Francesca Segal
