Etgar Keret came to our school on December 19th 2004.

He started the lecture reading us his first story "Pipes" and told us about his childhood and how he started to write it and the first one who read it was his older brother while he was walking the dog. He said that his books are like letters of complaints because he writes everything he's thinking without anyone criticizing him. He said that he's writes things that he does in the story and in real life he wouldn't do, like to say his opinion about people.

We thought that Etgar would be a tall young man wearing suit and a big black bag like a business man, but actually Etgar came wearing normal clothes, a side bag, not tall at all… a simple man. He asked him our questions and he answered honestly each one of them.

The lecture went on for an hour and a half, almost 2 hours...
We enjoyed this lecture and we got answers to all our questions.
Etgar Keret is a great guy and a wonderful writer.
