A seamless blend of lyricism and horror seen in the runes of a
disintegrating world
*Boston Sunday Globe*
Handke became the enfant terrible of the European avant-garde,
denouncing all social, psychological and historical categories of
experience as species of linguistic fraud. But [he] has aged well
and now...is regarded as one of the most important writers in
German
*The New York Times*
One of Europe's great writers
