From the Booker International Prize finalist and “one of Europe’s most exciting writers” (New York Times Book Review), a masterful collection about the tiny, quiet ruptures that shatter ordinary lives.
In We're Flying, the fragile veneer of daily routine is broken by the smallest of moments: a suspicious biopsy result, a creak of the floorboards late at night, a forgotten child, or a bundle of burnt letters.
Across a series of stark, haunting stories set in quiet Swiss villages, suburban apartments, and remote European landscapes, Peter Stamm exposes the delicate power struggles and hidden longings that dictate human connection. A woman quietly reclaims her independence from a sterile marriage; an estranged friend returns to a hometown burdened by past scandal; two teenagers negotiate intimacy under volatile, unequal terms.
Translated by Michael Hofmann, We're Flying showcases Stamm at the peak of his minimalist craft—delivering a razor-sharp, emotionally unsparing look at how one minor choice can irrevocably alter a life.
