Cuando oscurece

When Hubert asks Sabrina to pose for a sculpture, she is flattered, but soon discovers that seeing herself through someone else's eyes makes her uneasy. So, after a collector buys the sculpture, she decides to track down her aluminum double. Disenchanted with himself and the monotonous life that awaits him, David resolves to rob a bank. Although he has his mask ready, he won't use it: he has heard that robbers study the crime scene weeks before striking, and he has already begun his stalking. The protagonists of these deeply unsettling and meticulously crafted stories believe they know the world they inhabit, but, as they soon discover, the most familiar things often become strange, even terrifying. A moving and insightful book in which Peter Stamm reveals the extraordinary fragility of humanity through the deceptions of the heart and mind.
