With the precision of a surgeon, Peter Stamm cuts to the heart of the fragile and revealing moments of everyday life.

They are bankers, students, mothers, or retirees. They live in New York City or somewhere in Switzerland, they work in London or Riga, they cross paths in a Fado bar in Lisbon. They breathe the banal routine of daily life. It is to these ordinary people that Peter Stamm grants center stage in his latest collection of short stories. Henry, a cowherd turned stuntman, crisscrosses the country, dreaming of meeting a woman. Inger, the Dane, refuses her skimpy life and takes off for Italy. Regina, so lonely in her big house since her children left and her husband passed away, discovers the world anew thanks to the Australian friend of her granddaughter, who helps Regina envision her next voyage.

In these stories, Stamm's clean style expresses despair without flash, through softness and small gestures, with disarming retorts full of derision and infinite tenderness. There, where life hesitates, ready to tip over—with nothing yet played out—is where these people and their stories exist. For us, they all become exceptional. Praise for Unformed Landscape: "Sensitive and unnerving. . . . An uncommonly intimate work, one that will remind the reader of his or her own lived experience with a greater intensity than many of the books that are published right here at home." —The New Republic Online

Gorgeous!!
Pattern Name: Noble(12 Sets)
These face jewels are the perfect addition to our Mardi Gras costumes every year! We choose color based on our theme for the year. They are easy to use, just peel and stick! You can mix and match or use as is! So many great options and they last for 12+ hours! We usually apply over makeup and no matter the weather (cold, hot, rain or wind) these jewels stick for hours! Price point it amazing!

These were a hit at my daughter’s 5th birthday party! Mermaid themed and all the guests got to wear these jeweled face masks and they lasted the entire party! Great stick and lasted longer than I expected!
