The Seven Good Years: A Memoir

A brilliant, life-affirming, and hilarious memoir from a â€œgeniusâ€ (The New York Times) and master storyteller.

The seven years between the birth of Etgar Keretâ€™s son and the death of his father were good years, though still full of reasons to worry. Lev is born in the midst of a terrorist attack. Etgarâ€™s father gets cancer. The threat of constant war looms over their home and permeates daily life.

What emerges from this dark reality is a series of sublimely absurd ruminations on everything from Etgarâ€™s three-year-old sonâ€™s impending military service to the terrorist mind-set behind Angry Birds. Thereâ€™s Levâ€™s insistence that he is a cat, releasing him from any human responsibilities or rules. Etgarâ€™s siblings, all very different people who have chosen radically divergent paths in life, come together after his fatherâ€™s shivah to experience the grief and love that tie a family together forever. This wise, witty memoirâ€”Etgarâ€™s first nonfiction book published in America, and told in his inimitable styleâ€”is full of wonder and life and love, poignant insights, and irrepressible humor.
