Resumen
The stories here possess all the qualities that have built Peter Stamms reputation as one of the very finest European writers alive today - the undemonstrative prose, the deceptive simplicity of the storylines, and the calm, clear understanding of psychology and emotions. In Expectations, we meet a woman who becomes involved with her younger upstairs neighbour; in The Result, a man waiting for the outcome of medical tests; and in Sweet Dreams, a young couple learning to navigate the thrills and complications of cohabitation. A master of the short story, Stamm does not spare the readers feelings -- and nor does he waste a word.
