Missing Kissinger is a collection of short stories by Israeli writer Etgar Keret, published in 1994.

[1] Stories are about 5 pages long, presented in laconic sentences with use of intentionally spare, antiliterary vocabulary.

[4] A review of Missing Kissinger by Todd McEwen describes Etgar Keret's locale as that of "male confusion, loneliness, blundering, bellowing and, above all, stasis.

His narrator is trapped in an angry masculine wistfulness which is awful to behold in its masturbatory disconnection from the world's real possibilities and pleasures."

Etgar is "not much of a stylist - you get the impression that he throws three or four of these stories off on the bus to work every morning," and his "wild, blackly inventive pieces...might have been dreamed up by a mad scientist rather than a writer.
