Description
Fleur Jaeggy's Last Vanities is a collection of seven spare and terse stories, each one etched with a steel tip. A brooding atmosphere of horror and delirium pervades these tales, stirred only by the Fühn, the warm west wind of the Alps. The air is thick with menace, as the boundaries between respectability and angst are pushed to the limit.
