The Nimrod Flipout
Etgar Keret’s The Nimrod Flipout is a book that focuses on the everyday life of Israeli’s rather than focusing on some of the bigger concerns. Not once throughout the book are occupied territories, homeland, or any words in that category. All of the stories are based on an everyday Israeli citizen or citizens, and the more political concerns are left out. Also, I feel that most of the stories can be related to by the reader.

Anyone who is reading this story is most likely able to relate to it, which makes the piece interesting to read. The One Kiss on the Mouth in Mombasa is another story along the same lines as Ironclad Rules. Both of these stories talk of relationships and love. Both relationships and love are everyday ordinary concerns, which is what Keret’s book is all about. In this particular story, a woman is watched by a man while in Mombasa on an army duty. For three months, this one Dutch man stared at this woman for 3 months and did not say a word. Finally, when she was about to leave, he said he was just imagining their kiss. The story ends with the man who the woman is with now saying that he was not jealous of that Dutch man. I think this man may have realized how much his wife to be meant to him. He was going to marry her, and that Dutch man had just sat there for three months imagining one kiss. Both of these stories appeal to anyone who is interested in everyday love and relationship issues.
In the story The Nimrod Flipout, it focuses on a young group of teens. This is just another...
