It's Getting Dark by Peter Stamm

It's Getting Dark by Peter Stamm

A new story collection from one of Europe's most exciting writers (New York Times Book Review) deftly evokes and explores the shifts that occur when the world grows dark.

Snowed in at a remote artists' residency in Vermont, Peter recalls another Christmas some thirty years ago, when he met Marcia by chance on a trip to New York City. Only now, in this eerie, isolated place, does he begin to see the consequences of their brief affair through a series of connections.
When Hubert asks Sabrina to model for a sculpture, she's flattered and happy to help. But facing the finished product, looking at herself from previously hidden angles, disturbs her, and she becomes determined to follow her double after it's sold to a collector.
Uneasy in his own skin and with the humdrum life set out for him, David decides to rob a bank. He already has a mask for the purpose, but he won't be using it today. He's heard that bank robbers often study the scene for weeks before they strike. So he's started to lurk.
We think we know our world, but then the familiar suddenly turns strange, and even frightening. In these powerfully affecting, minutely constructed stories, Peter Stamm illustrates how fragile our reality really is, how susceptible to tricks of the heart and mind.

Peter Stamm lebt und arbeitet als Autor und Komponist in Brelingen bei Hannover
