![]() ![]() ![]() Dovaleh follows the routine of most comedians, establishing a rapport with the audience by teasing guests' fashions, nicknaming them after prominent body parts, and describing the city as a hovel for criminals and body bags. The novel begins with Dovaleh cheekily greeting the audience as Caesarea, a neighboring city to Netanya. Dovaleh's own stand-up comprises a significant portion of the novel, especially as he delves deeper into childhood stories later on. ![]() The novel is only broken up with gaps in the text, with most of the gaps separating narration of Dovaleh's stand-up with the narrator's memories of his interactions with Dovaleh before that night. The book is not divided into chapters, but rather is one long passage that mirrors the long and often painful endurance required to sit through the comedian's performance. Over the course of one night, A Horse Walks Into a Bar follows Dovaleh Greenstein's stand-up performance at a small dive in Netanya. ![]()
