A Night with Swiss Author Peter Stamm

Join us for the acclaimed Swiss author Peter Stamm, called by The New Yorker “Albert Camus . . . in an age [of] email.” In a review of Stamm’s latest novel, Seven Years, The New York Times called him “one of Europe’s most exciting writers.”

Stamm’s novels have been praised for their spare prose and their complex explorations of difficult relationships in modern Europe. Here he talks about his novels, which include Agnes, Unformed Landscape, and On a Day Like This, all masterfully translated into English by Michael Hofmann, as well as the broader currents in Swiss literature.
