In these 9 exquisite, moving stories from one of Europe's most exciting writers (New York Times Book Review), people struggle to connect in a cold, uneasy world. Looking to escape his past, a Swiss ski instructor relocates to a German resort, where he develops an ambiguous bond with an older woman. An unusual new job unsettles a failed actress, as her character's tragic story bleeds into her own life. When their son's obsession with Mars One drives him to self-isolate on a makeshift mission, a couple find themselves torn between respecting his wishes and protecting him. Slipping deftly inside the minds of his characters, Peter Stamm eloquently portrays the loneliness of modern life and the muddle of human relationships.
