Συλλογή διηγημάτων με το στυλ του Νέσμπο. Ξεχωρίζει «ο άρχοντας της ζήλιας» που διαδραματίζεται μεταξύ Καλύμνου και Αγγλίας.

I love to read short stories and anthologies, so when I heard Jo Nesbø is releasing a new collection of stories I had to read them!! Thank you Knopf for the e-arc and gifted book!

The Jealousy man and other stories is a brilliant collection of short stories that are twisted and have jealousy (obviously) and revenge as core themes! These stories are not written in his usual style, there is something different about them that is complex, but they keep their readers on the edge. I must ask you to keep an open mind and forget about Nesbø’s previous works before getting into this. [3.5⭐️]

Short stories, only one of which is a true detective story (The Jealousy Man). A couple are futuristic and quite bleak, though the future-based elements did not really gel for me. One story relies on alternate universes to drive the plot. Settings include Greece and Italy as well as Norway (one takes place completely on a trans-Atlantic flight). If you were to read only two stories in this book, I would recommend The Jealousy Man and Black Knight.
