Etgar Keret’s "Fatso"

From Anna Metcalfe's Q & A with James Lasdun at the Financial Times:

What is the last thing you read that made you laugh out loud?

Etgar Keret’s three-page story “Fatso”, about a guy whose girlfriend turns into a cheerful, chubby man every night. It still makes me laugh when I think of it.

Hilarious, brilliant: read "Fatso" online or in Keret's collection, The Nimrod Flipout.
