Wenn es dunkel wird

Peter Stamm tells us in his stories how the world transforms when darkness falls. Georg is soon to retire. At the office, he is no longer noticed, and at home, there is no meal waiting for him. He seems to be slowly dissolving, and an unnamed terror grips him. Sabrina is flattered when an artist approaches her. But when she sees herself as a work of art for the first time, she shudders. David wants to rob a bank. He already has a mask with him, a squirrel mask. However, he won't use it today. He has heard that bank robbers often observe all the details for weeks before they strike. He begins to lurk. We have grown accustomed to the world, and suddenly it becomes uncanny. What if our fantasies become more real than reality? Peter Stamm's stories speak of the fragility of the world, of dizziness, and of ghostly love.
