In the novel A Horse Comes to the Bar, leading Israeli writer David Grossman sets off linguistic fireworks that touch the very essence of the human soul. One hot August evening, the bitter, aging entertainer Dovík G appears on the stage of a small-town club with his stand-up show. After a while, instead of cheap jokes, he begins to tell the audience a strange story about the first funeral of his life: about a long journey to a funeral ceremony, during which he did not know, whom of his loved ones he finds on the marae. The audience in the auditorium has a hard smile on their lips, the evening begins to resemble a brutal showdown – with Dovík, with the audience and with a deeply damaged society. Until the curtain falls.
