“A leetle disappointing” – Jokes for the Gunmen by Mazen Maarouf

"The best stories in Jokes for the Gunmen are just ok. There is a little flatness to proceedings elsewhere. We suspect someone fancies Maarouf as the next Etgar Keret but he has a ways to go (Keret is a master of the short form - he chooses his words wisely and they all count; Maarouf feels like an impressionist at this point, like he hasn't quite honed his trade). There is nothing terrible here, but there is nothing dazzling either."
