«Si te comes un limón sin hacer muecas» is the short story collection by Sergi Pàmies, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (136 pages, in Spanish).
The twenty stories combine the everyday and the fantastic to explore recognizable emotions: unrequited love, mistrust, family dependencies, loneliness, and unsatisfied desires. Pàmies approaches this with irony and portrays vulnerable characters trapped in circumstances that, like lemons, are sour and refreshing.
Number 409 in the Narrativas hispánicas collection. Includes a presentation by Enrique Vila-Matas. The book received the Setenil, City of Barcelona, and Lletra d’Or awards.
For readers of contemporary short fiction who value irony and brief stories with emotional depth.
