On Thin Ice

“[A] magnificent collection…Stamm has always been a beguilingly unflashy writer, with stripped-down prose that makes the exposure of raw emotions all the more lethal. He’s as perceptive and empathetic as ever in this excellent work.” —Shelf Awareness

“Beguiling…Stamm gestures at the complexities of reality in these thought-provoking tales.” —Publishers Weekly

Praise for Peter Stamm:

“Stamm’s prose (beautifully translated by Michael Hofmann) is plain but not so simple…A subtle but deadly style.” —Zadie Smith

“Peter Stamm is an extraordinary author who can make the ordinary absolutely electrifying…Hard to recommend too highly.” —Tim Parks

“A master writer…His prose…is as sharply illuminating as a surgical light.” —The Economist
