I received this book of short stories from Barcelona writer Jordi Nopca from Library Thing's Early Reviewers. It's well written, but I found the stories a bit repetitive in theme; basically they are about heterosexual relationships coping with the strains of a poor economy. It was fun to have the Barcelona setting, and interesting to think about how young people in Europe face similar challenges as young people here in the U.S.; but with a bit more of that European reticence. I think my favorite stories were "Angels Quintana and Felix Palme Have Problems" in which a restaurant worker faces getting older, and less employable by sinking more and more into alcoholism, and his girlfriend, tries repetitively to save him and the relationship; and "Swiss Army Knife' which ends more dramatically than most of the stories in the collection. In this story, a middle age couple focus their mostly sex-less relationship on reading literature in preparation for travel. (

So smart, subtle, true. Nopca's deadpan narration crushingly illustrates lives under neoliberalism: the burden of unpaid work on those below, the ease of non-accountability for those above; the pitifully small victories for the former, the petty revenges of the latter. Nopca's work is so subtle that you might feel as if he's just documenting real life, but look closer: every word, every moment is carefully chosen, nothing is random. This book is an indictment as much as a great collection of short stories. (

Absurdity and wit are favorite attributes of mine in short stories, and there is certainly plenty of this in Jordi Nopca's collection. Most of the stories, however, just seemed lacking and the writing was sometimes clunky. I'm not sure if this was due to the writing or the translation, but it prevented me from fully immersing myself in the stories. While the situations and characters were often relatable, stories still seemed to lack depth and the sudden, short explosions of clarity and identification that are seemingly inherent in short stories. The themes of capitalism, austerity policies, and underemployment mentioned in the book's description were explicitly shoehorned into a couple of sentences in some of the stories, instead of letting the story itself really flesh out the concepts.

I spent a few pleasant hours reading through this collection and I would probably read more from Jordi Nopca, but this isn't going to blow anyone's mind or revolutionize the concept of the short story. (

Jordi Nopca's collection Come One Up is a marvelous introduction to a writer with a biting wit and taste for the absurd. The stories are, largely, slow burning tales that in the keep the reader, this reader, simmering with expectation for the next absurd, wild, weird, funny (darkly), turn the story will take. The stories are solidly set in Spain and a reader with a knowledge of the country will surely benefit and get the most from these stories. This said I came to the stories with little knowledge of the place and settings and politics of Spain but the stories are immediately relatable. Also the collection of stories was expertly organized with tone and length and theme clearly put together for a reading experience that begs the reader to keep on going to read each story in the order the author is suggesting. I look forward to the next time that Jordi Nopca comes in translation. An excellent absurdly-real collection of modern stories. (
