Israeli author David Grossman's bestselling novel A Horse Walks into a Bar is being made into a Hollywood film by actor-director Mark Duplass (Cyrus, Baghead) for Village Roadshow Pictures. 

Grossman's 2014 novel describes a surreal stand-up performance in which an aging comic uses the performance to take a look at his life and reveal some chilling information about his past. It is told from the point of view of one of the audience members, an old acquaintance of the comic who was invited out of the blue to see him on stage.

In 2017, the book was adapted into a play for The Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv. The play won a prize for the best new Israeli drama and Dror Keren, the actor who played the comic, won a prize for best actor.

Grossman won the Israel Prize for literature in 2018 and the Man Booker International Prize in 2017.
