==Literary career==
Keret's first published work was ''Pipelines'' ({{Script/Hebrew|צינורות}}, ''Tzinorot'', 1992), a collection of short stories which was largely ignored when it came out. His second book, ''[[Missing Kissinger]]'' ({{Script/Hebrew|געגועיי לקיסינג'ר}}, ''Ga'agu'ai le-Kissinger'', 1994), a collection of fifty very short stories, caught the attention of the general public. The short story "Siren", which deals with the paradoxes of modern Israeli society, is included in the curriculum for the Israeli [[bagrut|matriculation]] exam in literature.

Keret has co-authored several comic books, among them ''Nobody Said It Was Going to Be Fun'' ({{Script/Hebrew|לא באנו ליהנות}}, ''Lo banu leihanot'', 1996) with [[Rutu Modan]] and ''Streets of Fury'' (סמטאות הזעם, ''Simtaot Haza'am'', 1997) with [[Asaf Hanuka]]. In 1999, five of his stories were translated into [[English language|English]], and adapted into "graphic novellas" under the joint title ''Jetlag''. The illustrators were the five members of the [[Actus Tragicus (comics)|Actus Tragicus]] collective.

In 1998, Keret published ''Kneller's Happy Campers'' ({{Script/Hebrew|הקייטנה של קנלר}}, ''Hakaytana Shel Kneller''), a collection of short stories. The title story, the longest in the collection, follows a young man who commits suicide and goes on a quest for love in the afterlife. It appears in the English language collection of Keret's stories ''The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & Other Stories'' (2004) and was adapted into the graphic novel ''Pizzeria Kamikaze'' (2006), with illustrations by Asaf Hanuka. Keret's latest short story collections are ''Anihu'' ({{Script/Hebrew|אניהו}}, literally ''I-am-him'', 2002; translated into English as ''Cheap Moon'', after one of the other stories in the collection) and ''Pitom Defikah Ba-delet'' ({{Script/Hebrew|פתאום דפיקה בדלת}}, translated into English as ''Suddenly a Knock at the Door'').

Keret also wrote a children's book ''Dad Runs Away with the Circus'' (2004), illustrated by Rutu Modan.

Keret publishes some of his works on the Hebrew-language web site "Bimah Hadashah" (New Stage).

His 2019 book published in English as ''Fly Already'' ({{Script/Hebrew|תקלה בקצה הגלקסיה}}, literally ''Glitch at the Edge of the Galaxy'') won Israel’s prestigious [[Sapir Prize]] in Literature. The prize includes a paid translation of the winning book into any language of the author’s choosing, and Keret gained some attention for selecting [[Yiddish]]. This was the first time an author had chosen that language in the prize’s 20-year history.<ref>[https://forward.com/yiddish/439388/why-etgar-keret-wanted-his-prizewinning-book-translated-into-yiddish/]</ref>

==Writing style==
[[File:KeretAutograph.jpg|thumb|200px|Autograph on Keret's book, Jerusalem, 2010, writers' conference]]
Keret's writing style is lean, using everyday language, slang, and dialect. His work has influenced many writers of his generation,{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}} as well as bringing a renewed surge in popularity for the short story form in Israel in the second half of the 1990s.{{Citation needed|date=September 2012}}<ref>{{Cite book|title=Israeli Culture between the Two Intifadas : A Brief Romance|url=https://archive.org/details/israeliculturebe0000pele|url-access=registration|last=Peleg|first=Yaron|publisher=University of Texas Press|year=2008|isbn=9780292794269}}</ref>

According to linguist [[Ghil'ad Zuckermann]], Etgar Keret was criticized by linguist Menahem Zevi Kaddari "for using a 'thin language' – as opposed to [[Shmuel Yosef Agnon]]".<ref name=Revivalistics>{{cite book|author=Zuckermann, Ghil'ad|author-link=Ghil'ad Zuckermann|title=[[Revivalistics: From the Genesis of Israeli to Language Reclamation in Australia and Beyond]]|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York|year=2020|isbn=9780199812790}} {{ISBN|9780199812776}}</ref>{{rp|22}} Zuckermann defends Keret and argues that "Kaddari compares Keret to Agnon as if they wrote in two different registers of the same language"<ref name=Revivalistics/>{{rp|22}} whereas "Keret is, in fact, writing in a different language. Whilst Agnon attempts to write in (Mishnaic) Hebrew, which is obviously not his mother tongue ([[Yiddish]]), Keret writes authentically in his native Israeli."<ref name=Revivalistics/>{{rp|22}} Zuckermann provides an example: when Agnon wrote, in 1944, אשתו מתה עליו ''ishtó méta alàv'', literally "his wife died/dies on him", he meant "he became a widower". When Keret says so, he means "his wife loves him very much".<ref name=Revivalistics/>{{rp|22}}

==Awards==
Keret has received the Prime Minister's award for literature, as well as the Ministry of Culture's Cinema Prize. In 2006 he was chosen as an outstanding artist of the prestigious [[Israel Cultural Excellence Foundation]].

In 1993 he won the first prize in the Alternative Theater Festival in [[Akko]] for ''Entebbe: A Musical'', which he wrote with [[Jonathan Bar Giora]].

The short film ''Malka Lev Adom'' (''Skin Deep'', 1996), which Keret wrote and directed with [[Ran Tal]], won an Israel Film Academy award and first place in the Munich International Festival of Film Schools. The film ''[[Jellyfish (2007 film)|Jellyfish]]'', a joint venture for Keret and his wife received the [[Camera d'Or]] prize at the [[2007 Cannes Film Festival]]. ''Missing Kissinger'' won the 2008 [[JQ Wingate Prize]].

Keret was on the jury for the 2010 [[Neustadt International Prize for Literature]].<ref>[http://www.ou.edu/worldlit/2009-Neustadt-jury-nominees.pdf Jury & candidates for 2010 Neustadt Prize] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090524020323/http://www.ou.edu/worldlit/2009-Neustadt-jury-nominees.pdf |date=May 24, 2009 }}, announced March 2009.</ref>

==Criticism==
A review of ''Missing Kissinger'' by [[Todd McEwen]] describes Etgar Keret's locale as that of "male confusion, loneliness, blundering, bellowing and, above all, stasis. His narrator is trapped in an angry masculine wistfulness which is awful to behold in its masturbatory disconnection from the world's real possibilities and pleasures." Keret is "not much of a stylist - you get the impression that he throws three or four of these stories off on the bus to work every morning," and his "wild, blackly inventive pieces...might have been dreamed up by a mad scientist rather than a writer."<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/mar/24/featuresreviews.guardianreview21 | location=London | work=The Guardian | first=Todd | last=McEwen | title=Review: Missing Kissinger by Etgar Keret | date=24 March 2007}}</ref>
