An underemployed chef is pulled into the escalating violence of his
neighbour’s makeshift porn channel. An elderly piano student is
forced to flee her home village when word gets out that she’s fucked
her thirty-something teacher. A hose pumping cava through the maquette
of a giant penis becomes a murder weapon in the hands of a disaffected
housewife.
In this collection from the winner of Sweden’s August Prize, Lina
Wolff gleefully wrenches unpredictability from the suffocations of
day-to-day life, shatters balances of power without warning, and
strips her characters down to their strangest and most unstable
selves. Wicked, discomfiting, delightful and wry, delivered with the
deadly wit for which Wolff is known, _Many People Die Like You_
presents the uneasy spectacle of people in solitude, and probes, with
savage honesty, the choices we make when we believe no one is watching
… or when we no longer care.
