Review: To the Back of Beyond by Peter Stamm
I’ve made a nice discovery in this Swiss author. Told in short chapters alternating between the daily progress of an abandoning husband and his abandoned wife, the writing is terse and well-paced but uneventful until suddenly we are taken by surprise by an unexpected and entirely satisfying twist.
Nothing is explained or justified. You are left to simply imagine what it would be like to either abandon or be abandoned. Captivating!
