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

Quiet but Strong
The sound level surprised me. I expected a louder buzz, but it’s much quieter, which makes using it less stressful. The size is small enough to maneuver easily, but it doesn’t sacrifice strength. Even with thicker hair, it trims without pulling. That’s usually my main concern with electric tools, but this one feels secure and safe. Another thing I enjoy is how light it feels in my hand. I used it on my arms, legs, and bikini line, and I didn’t have to grip tightly. The design makes it simple to hold and move around curves without nicking the skin.

Great Trimmer for Sensitive Areas
I’ve been really happy with this Dermave bikini trimmer. It’s compact, easy to handle, and works well on delicate areas without causing nicks or irritation. The 2 in 1 feature is great. I use the smaller head for facial touch ups and the larger one for bikini and body areas. The ceramic blade glides smoothly and feels safer than traditional razors. I like that it’s waterproof, so I can use and rinse it in the shower. The charging dock keeps it neat and charges it quickly. Battery life has been solid so far. It’s also pretty quiet, which is a bonus. Whether you’re maintaining between waxes or just prefer trimming, this is a reliable and gentle option.
