«Si te comes un limón sin hacer muecas» is the short story collection by Sergi Pàmies, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (136 pages).
The volume brings together twenty stories that move between the everyday and the fantastic to explore recognisable emotions: unrequited love, mistrust, family dependencies, loneliness and unsatisfied desires. With irony, Pàmies presents vulnerable characters trapped in circumstances that, like lemons, both sour and refresh.
It belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection (no. 533). The work, originally in Catalan, won the Setenil, Ciutat de Barcelona and Lletra d'Or awards.
For readers of short stories and contemporary fiction who appreciate brief narrative with an ironic tone and observations on everyday life.
