Book & Film Club: Autocorrect

Led by Janna Nadler

Janna Nadler reviews Autocorrect by Etgar Keret. The review will begin at 1:30 p.m. and is preceded by lunch at 12:45 p.m. This program will also be available to join over Zoom.

Etgar Keret is the world’s most famous living Israeli writer, known for writing short stories that are lean and accessible in style, and whimsical, surrealist, and darkly funny in subject. His work explores life’s smallest, most unremarkable interactions in ways that are profound and unusual. The characters populating his fiction have relatable work and relationship problems. They live in a world of ever-advancing technology, but it is always degraded by the baseness of human passions and a character’s partner is a reality show contestant from a parallel dimension; another finds the asteroid they paid to have named after their wife is scheduled to collide with earth; and an elderly widow convinces a popular AI program to commit suicide.
