Peter Stamm is a Swiss writer I ran across in prison thanks to Dalkey Archive Press' Best European Fiction 2010. Quite the eye opener was that collection - to see what was going on out in the wider world was most educational. I have tried to follow up on those authors, a few more successfully than with others. Peter Stamm was one if the unsuccessful ones. I noticed s few times his name mentioned in the New York Times Book Review. Now he has a new collection if short stories and LitHub has one of these stories - The Most Beautiful Dress. Give him a read, a well written story with a psychological angle that impressed me.
