With the precision of a surgeon, Peter Stamm cuts to the heart of the fragile and revealing moments of everyday life.

They are bankers, students, mothers, or retirees. They live in New York City or somewhere in Switzerland, they work in London or Riga, they cross paths in a Fado bar in Lisbon. They breathe the banal routine of daily life. It is to these ordinary people that Peter Stamm grants center stage in his latest collection of short stories. Henry, a cowherd turned stuntman, crisscrosses the country, dreaming of meeting a woman. Inger, the Dane, refuses her skimpy life and takes off for Italy. Regina, so lonely in her big house since her children left and her husband passed away, discovers the world anew thanks to the Australian friend of her granddaughter, who helps Regina envision her next voyage.

In these stories, Stamm's clean style expresses despair without flash, through softness and small gestures, with disarming retorts full of derision and infinite tenderness. There, where life hesitates, ready to tip over—with nothing yet played out—is where these people and their stories exist. For us, they all become exceptional. Praise for Unformed Landscape: "Sensitive and unnerving. . . . An uncommonly intimate work, one that will remind the reader of his or her own lived experience with a greater intensity than many of the books that are published right here at home." —The New Republic Online

Great sport block for sensitive skin
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I use this whole playing tennis or pickleball, it might be a little much for everyday. Does not irritate my sensitive skin. Rich enough for dry skin. Very slightly white cast that quickly fades. Does not run or bother my eyes for sports. Basically perfect in all categories.

Amazing smell great sunscreen
This is easy to apply, but great coverage. I am fair-skinned and always want something for my face to make sure I don't get sunburned. I had a great day at the beach with the family, and will definitely use this again.

Tiny but Mighty
This Hawaiian Tropic Weightless Hydration Sunscreen Stick SPF 60 may be small, but it packs a punch! Yes, it’s definitely on the tiny side — smaller than you might expect — but it’s become my absolute go-to for quick, reliable coverage. It’s perfect to toss in a purse, beach bag, or even a pocket for reapplication throughout the day. The formula feels smooth and lightweight, not greasy or heavy. It glides on easily and doesn’t leave that thick, sticky sunscreen feeling. I especially love it for my face, around my nose, and on my shoulders when I need a quick touch-up. The SPF 60 gives great peace of mind, especially during long days in the sun. Even though it’s small, it’s super convenient and effective. Perfect for on-the-go protection!
