«Stilles Chaos» is a contemporary novel by Sandro Veronesi, published by btb Taschenbuch in paperback (477 pages, in German).
After the sudden death of his wife, Pietro Paladini decides to change his life and not leave his daughter Claudia alone. Every morning he parks in front of her school and waits until she comes out. His incomprehensible calm makes him a familiar figure in the community and ultimately reveals the dark side of those around him.
The novel was originally published in Italian as «Caos calmo» (2005), winner of the Premio Strega and the Prix Femina Étranger.
For readers of contemporary European fiction who appreciate intimate stories about fatherhood, grief and everyday life.
