Keret's book was ready for publication on October 8, 2023, but the Hamas attack shifted priorities; he later added two stories as the reality matched his dark narrative. His surrealist fiction blends everyday situations with absurdism, occasionally anchored by Hebrew references and Israeli context, while he reserves explicit political commentary for newsletters and street protests.
