Peter Stamm

the world is a gentle, has the same validity in the days of the human rights messed up. "Christmas is the saddest day of the year," writes Peter Stamm in his new book, "Marcia from Vermont," which is also a Christmas story. The narrator adds: "And I'm just a little strapped for cash and didn't want to go to bed hungry." What is going to happen? A woman raised in New York, a man in Christmas night, he gave her the fire she has asked for $ 20. From this Moment on, many stories in this story are quite possible: a man and a woman can go the way together – or not. And then later think about what could have happened – or not. A correct root constellation. Of course, with a double bottom. (bu)
