WE''RE FLYING

Following the publication of the widely acclaimed novel Seven Years comes a trove of stories from the Swiss master Peter Stamm. They all possess the traits that have built Stamms reputation: the directness of the prose the deceptive surface simplicity of the narratives and deep psychological insight into the existential dilemmas of contemporary life. Stamm does not waste a word nor does he spare the readers feelings. These stories are a superb introduction to his work and a gift for all those who have come to regard his fiction as a precise rendering of the contemporary human psyche.
