Özet:

Etgar Keret, born in Ramat Gan in 1967, is one of the most important characters of modern Israeli literature and cinema. While the author was twenty-five years old, he published his story antology, “Burular” (Csinorot) in 1992, he gained a very important position in Israeli literature after his second story antology, “Letters to Kissinger” (Letters to Kissinger) in 1994, which he published. The writer, who deals with the political, religious and military values that are considered holy by the Israeli society, in his stories focuses on family relations as well as friendship and heart relations. Keret, accused by some literary critics of harming the values of the Israeli society and of not respecting these values, in his stories shows a different and much more sensitive attitude towards certain values that are actually exploited by the Zionist movement. The heroes in their stories are often referred to as anti-heroes, but many of these heroes ignore the values that the society they live in tries to impose on them and remain loyal to their own truths. In this context, Kissinger's short story, Lişbor et Hahazir, which is included in Kissinger's Desire Collection, is based on the materialist criticism of the father-son relationship. Etgar Keret, in this short story, deals with the imposition of the economic system and a child who ignores the father's desire, his representative at home, takes a step towards maturity. This story of the writer, adapted to the cinema with many stories, becomes one of his most famous stories.
