Kneller's Happy Campers is a strange, dark but funny tale set in a world very much like our own but it's an afterlife populated by people who have killed themselves - many of them are young, and most of them bear the marks of their death... bullet wounds, broken necks...(those who have over-dosed are known as 'Juliets'). Mordy, our hero, discovers that his girlfriend from his life before has also 'offed' herself so he sets out to find her, and so follows a strange adventure...

Full of the weird and wonderful characters, and the slightly surreal twist of events that we've come to expect from Etgar Keret, this novella is full of humour and comic flashes, but it is also wistful, longing for a better world and perfect love.

Pra quem assistiu wriscutters

Wristcutters é um dos meu filmes favoritos e sempre tive curiosidade de ler o livro que o inspirou.
Embora a leitura seja fluída e os personagens sejam tão bons quanto os do filme, confesso que fiquei um pouco decepcionado.
O livro é bem curto, simplista e a maioria dos diálogos perde para os do filme.
Em suma, a leitura vale a pena, mas, em minha opinião, não supera o filme.
