WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017 The setting is a
comedy club in a small Israeli town. An audience that has come
expecting an evening of amusement instead sees a comedian falling
apart on stage; an act of disintegration, a man crumbling, as a
matter of choice, before their eyes. They could get up and leave,
or boo and whistle and drive him from the stage, if they were not
so drawn to glimpse his personal hell. Dovaleh G, a veteran
stand-up comic - charming, erratic, repellent - exposes a wound he
has been living with for years: a fateful and gruesome choice he
had to make between the two people who were dearest to him. A Horse
Walks into a Bar is a shocking and breathtaking read. Betrayals
between lovers, the treachery of friends, guilt demanding redress.
Flaying alive both himself and the people watching him, Dovaleh G
provokes both revulsion and empathy from an audience that doesn't
know whether to laugh or cry - and all this in the presence of a
former childhood friend who is trying to understand why he's been
summoned to this performance.
