Missing Kissinger: '''Missing Kissinger''' is a second book by Etgar Keret.
The book is an anthology of surreal ambiguous and very short stories. Each story is no more than couple of pages long, presented in laconic sentences with use of intentionally spare, antiliterary vocabulary. About fifty stories span two hundred and fifty pages. The protagonists are Average Joes " taking impossible things seriously and grave matters lightly". Keret says: "I would call it subjective realism, I am trying to show things the way they feel." Keret explains that his work is influenced by Franz Kafka: "Kafka tries to reach his moral goal by disorientating the reader. A short story in this style is like a slap in the face."
The book was a popular success and considered author's breakthrough creation. The daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth named the book as one of the 50 most important works in Hebrew. Stories from this book are now included on the Israeli high school syllabus.
