Christoph, a middle-aged writer, has a story to share with Lena, a young actress. A long time ago, he was in a relationship with a woman called Magdalena, who was also an actress. Lena is currently in a relationship with a man called Chris, who is also a writer. As the two talk, it becomes clear that the two relationships contain echoes, similarities, and coincidences too remarkable to be called coincidences. Are Chris and Lena doomed to repeat Christoph and Magdalena's broken relationship, or are Christoph and Magdalena a warning from the future? Who really exists? Is there such a thing as fate? And so begins a uniquely existential game of past and present that will leave no one unharmed.

Given a second chance with an old love, a coolly detached archivist questions the life he could have had, and whether it’s not too late to live it. A poignant, ingeniously constructed new novel from “one of Europe’s most exciting writers” (New York Times Book Review). Forty years ago—almost a lifetime—he confessed his love to a classmate and close friend, Franziska. Now, living in his late mother’s house with the obsolete archive of the newspaper he once worked for, he looks back on days spent poring over files and clippings, increasingly withdrawn from the world. His occasional relationships never amounted to anything, and the memory of Franziska—who became pop singer Fabienne—continues to haunt him as she appears in the media. When the two cross paths again, the possibility of a different life feels achingly real. But should he risk the comfort of his ordered existence for a romance that might never match what he imagined? A subtle, mesmerizing portrait of late-blooming passion, The Archive of Feelings showcases Peter Stamm at his best.

A brilliant literary debut about belonging, family, and love, and the enigmatic nature of identity. Beside Myself is the disturbing and exhilarating story of a family across four generations. At its heart is a twin’s search for her brother. When Anton goes missing and the only clue is a postcard sent from Istanbul, Ali leaves her life in Berlin to find him. Without her twin, the sharer of her memories and the mirror of her own self, Ali is lost. In a city steeped in political and social upheaval, where you can buy gender-changing drugs on the street, Ali’s search—for her missing brother, for her identity—will take her on a journey for connection and belonging.

Does the postmodern process of rewriting stories by earlier writers point to a crisis of originality in our cloning culture? In Rewriting, the first systematic examination of this tendency in late twentieth-century American fiction, Christian Moraru answers this question with a "no" by examining a wide range of representative writers including E. L. Doctorow, Robert Coover, Paul Auster, Charles Johnson, Ishmael Reed, Trey Ellis, Kathy Acker, Mark Leyner, and Bharati Mukherjee, among others. Moraru shows that in reworking the emblematic nineteenth-century short stories and novels of Hawthorne, Poe, Melville, Alger, Stowe, Thoreau, Twain, and others, postmodern American writers take on—and critically revise—a whole set of values and notions that shape our cultural mythology. Accordingly, Moraru redefines postmodernism in general, and postmodern rewriting in particular, as a culturally innovative and politically enabling phenomenon.

Christoph e Lena passeggiano nel grande Cimitero del Bosco di Stoccolma. Non si conoscono, ma lui ha una storia da raccontarle, una storia che in qualche modo le appartiene. Vent’anni prima amava una donna di uguale bellezza e con la stessa vivace curiosità. Si chiamava Magdalena, era attrice di teatro, proprio come Lena, e dopo un lungo periodo felice, un giorno inaspettatamente le loro vite si erano separate. Il dolore della perdita aveva spinto Christoph a scrivere un romanzo sul loro amore. Ma quel libro – l’unico vero successo della sua carriera letteraria – era stato anche la causa di una scoperta che lo avrebbe spinto sull’orlo della follia. Una notte, dopo una lettura pubblica nel paese in cui era cresciuto e a cui non tornava da molto tempo, Christoph si era trovato di fronte un se stesso di vent’anni più giovane. Tra gli alti pini incantati, Christoph cammina e racconta, e nelle sue parole la giovane donna ritrova i dettagli più intimi della propria vita, quasi un riverbero del proprio destino. Una narrazione dall’equilibro perfetto, che ha il nitore e l’eleganza dei grandi romanzi.

A new novel of artful understatement about mortality, estrangement, and the absurdity of life from the acclaimed author of Unformed Landscape and In Strange Gardens On a day like any other, Andreas changes his life. When a routine doctor’s visit leads to an unexpected prognosis, a great yearning takes hold of him—but who can tell if it is homesickness or wanderlust? Andreas leaves everything behind, sells his Paris apartment; cuts off all social ties; quits his teaching job; and waves goodbye to his days spent idly sitting in cafes—to look for a woman he once loved, half a lifetime ago. The monotony of days has been keeping him in check; now he hopes for a miracle and for a new beginning. Andreas’ travels lead him back to the province of his youth, back to his hometown in Switzerland where he returns to familiar streets, where his brother still lives in their childhood home, and where Fabienne, a woman he was obsessed with in his youth, visits the same lake they once swam in together. Andreas, still consumed with longing for his lost love and blinded by the uncertainty of his future, is tormented by the question of what might have been if things had happened differently. Peter Stamm has been praised as a “stylistic ascetic” and his prose as “distinguished by lapidary expression, telegraphic terseness, and finely tuned sensitivity” (Bookforum). In On a Day Like This, Stamm’s unobtrusive observational style allows us to journey with our antihero through his crises of banality, of living in his empty world, and the realization that life is finite—that one must live it, as long as that is possible. 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 “If Albert Camus had lived in an age when people in remote Norwegian fishing villages had e-mail, he might have written a novel like this.”—The New Yorker “Unformed Landscape has a refreshing purity, a lack of delusion, a lack of hype.”—Los Angeles Times From the Hardcover edition.

Un homme – appelons-le le narrateur – donne rendez-vous à une femme prénommée Lena dans le grand cimetière de Stockholm. Cette femme est une inconnue (nous apprendrons plus tard qu'elle est comédienne et a joué Mademoiselle Julie au théâtre), mais elle rappelle intensément au narrateur la jeune femme dont il a été très amoureux il y a une vingtaine d'années. Cette dernière s'appelait Magdalena, était aussi comédienne et elle aussi avait joué Strindberg. Après leur rupture, le narrateur a écrit un livre sur les trois années qu'ils ont vécu ensemble et il veut en donner les détails à l'inconnue de Stockholm. Lena accepte de l'écouter, mais se moque des similitudes qui lui semblent forcées entre sa vie et celle de Magdalena, invoquant à chaque détail troublant une coïncidence et ne cessant de répéter qu'elle ne peut être Magdalena puisqu'elle a vingt ans de moins. Ce récit de Peter Stamm, ciselé en 37 petits chapitres et dont le titre rappelle « la tendre indifférence du monde » évoquée par Camus à la fin de L'Étranger, est d'une vertigineuse intelligence. Tout en conservant sa part épique qui n'en fait pas un livre sec, cette réflexion sur les confusions de la vie, les obsessions de l'existence, la portée de la littérature, la différence entre le vécu et le récit qui en est fait, frôle sans cesse les abîmes sans jamais tomber dans la confusion, encadré qu'il est par deux chapitres qui mettent encore ce kaléidoscope en perspective. Poursuivant la recherche sur la vérité et l'imaginaire et le jeu avec la réalité initiée dans L'un l'autre, Peter Stamm nous donne un livre diablement virtuose.
