  UNFORMED LANDSCAPE

  A sensitive young woman is led to the richer life she was meant to have and is brave enough to claim. Her story speaks eloquently about solitude, the fragility of love, lost illusions, and self-discovery.

  “Like the landscapes of his novels, Stamm’s prose is spare and graceful.” —New Republic

  WE’RE FLYING

  This short-story collection is a superb introduction to the work of Peter Stamm and its precise rendering of the contemporary human psyche.

  “The situations depicted in We’re Flying…evoke the negative spaces of Raymond Carver or the quiet menace of Shirley Jackson, but with Walser’s light touch.” —Seattle Times
