It's always such a pleasure to read your stories but your translators deserve so much recognition. For non-Hebrew speaking people, their translations are what make it easy for us to take such delight in your tales.

Grim sad story. But trenchant. BTW, I've taken to calling it "autoincorrect"

Congratulations Etgar! I just pre-ordered it on Kindle. At the risk of sounding like a complete egomaniac - is that squirrel the squirrel from "my" story? I will die boasting if it is.

Dunno how I missed this beauty the first time round. Do hope you win the 'glittering prizes'. You deserve them. :).

Pre-ordered months ago at my independent book store, Three Lives in Greenwich Village. How I wish you would do a guest reading there!

Etgar, A long-time reader and admirer of your work. I met you in New Orleans a long time ago. I am now working with over a hundred book clubs (most are Hadassah-related as I am the National Book Club Facilitator). Please email me at Briannshear@gmail.com. We need to talk.

Congratulations Etgar! Ordered! Can’t wait to get Autocorrect.

Love Strong Opinions on Burning Issues. Yes. There is life after death and we are the proof of it.

Etgar, so thrilled you have a new book coming out, and even though you didn't read us a story, it was nice to see you and hear from you! Of course I preordered my copy and can't wait for it to arrive. This story stirred up so many different feelings in me, I'm still quite unsettled. I'm always amazed by the impact of your short stories. Very thankful for you and your work.

Mazal tov and TODA! Another blessing of brilliance to anticipate and, hopefully, celebrate in hopeful peace rather than hoping for peace.

I think that 'contemporary dance' would be a better title for it - don't know why

Oh yes sure! i‘ve ordered *autocorrect* right away, being a car mechanic, and „car“ in German, spells „Auto“, and always i have been trying to be so so so correct, and now Amazon promises to deliver „autocorrect“ the day after my 69th birthday — isn‘t that a deal?

Thank you so very much, dear Etgar! You‘ve made my day!, again! Thank you very much.
