An unusual anthology of short stories set in Spain about sex, infidelity and the human condition.

Each short story is based around the turmoil of the central character, their inner monologue and feelings, throughout a series of events. Quite a curious, but enjoyable and poetic style, almost like reading various people’s diary entries with some intense descriptions, although I expected it to be more salacious from the blurb.  

The narrator was also good.

Many People Die Like You is a collection of short stories. My guess is they are different from the ones you usually read. They are sometimes quite weird but still entertaining. Although many stories are mundane, some are a bit surreal. They also contain a touch of dark humor and satire.

Weird situations appear constantly. A wife hires a detective to prove her husband's infidelity and complains about the report. She wanted just text, no photos. The wife's lover one day knocks on the door and wants a place to sleep because he has nowhere else to go. A woman cries in front of the web camera and tries to attract more followers.

Spain’s setting and quirkiness gave me Pedro Almodovar vibes. I love his movies, so I enjoyed these stories, too. And Lina Wolff is an author I will keep in my mind.
