	Peter Handke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Handke (born December 6, 1942) is an avant-garde Austrian novelist and playwright.
		Handke and his mother (who is said to be the model for the protagonist in A Sorrow Beyond Dreams) lived in East Berlin from 1944 to 1948 before resettling in Griffen.
		Handke collaborated with director Wim Wenders on a film version of his novel Die Angst des Tormanns beim Elfmeter (The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick) and co-wrote the screenplay for Wenders' Wings of Desire.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Peter_Handke (1640 words)

	[No title]
		Professional readers of Handke have reflected very little upon the sexually motivated murder in _The Goalie's Anxiety_, the conjugal rage between husband and wife in _Short Letter_, the resentful Oedipal longing to resurrect the dead mother in _Sorrow beyond Dreams_, and the complementary adulation of the girl-child as muse in _Child's Story_.
		Handke is, to paraphrase Woody Allen, polymorphously perverse, but in contrast to Woody Allen's smugly neurotic eroticism, there is no self- congratulation of that fact in his work.
		Handke's radical surgery on Montaigne resembles in respects an autopsy performed by a vampire doctor; the postmodern essay drains the life from the modern and lives on, pumped up momentarily with the knowledge and blood of the dissected deceased--undead, glamorous, meticulous, analytical, thirsting.

	Peter Handke
		Peter Handke's talk about the "descriptive impotency" of literature seemed at the time to be merely a juvenile's urge for attention.
		Handke had turned the communicative act of the stage ninety degrees, and all of a sudden, the actors were addressing the audience, they even commanded it and abused it.
		Handke is fascinated by the expression "being conspicuous by one's absence".

	theatre notes: Peter Handke banned
		One might ask why Handke was programmed in the first place, given that everyone knows his beliefs, which are well on the record and have been for years, and why it is suddenly different when he is quoted in a particular newspaper.
		In both the Handke and the Corrie cases, the decision to perform the piece had already initially been made, so questions of the "artistry" of the work are not really relevant to this discussion...
		I'm not saying that Handke is in the same paddock as the revisionist historian David Irving, by any means: but in denying the Holocaust, Irving does not deny that there were camps to which Jews and others were sent, nor that a lot of people died in them (though he says fewer than claimed).

	Handke Reviews
		Handke’s essay was first published in two weekend installments by Munich’s highly regarded Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which called his descriptions “provocative, irritating and also liberating.” It said the essay was designed to stir debate and question assumptions about the war and how it was reported.
		Like Handke, he is obsessed with experiencing the thrill of fusing perception and imagination, observing nature by escaping the distractions and inhumanity of the modern urban world.
		Handke hopes that the poetic insinuations of his epistemology will make up for plotlessness: ``The metamorphosis -- is it going to turn into a struggle again after all: between me, the monster of awareness, and me, the Tom Thumb of narration?'' The monster can be an angel.

	Peter Handke: Am Felsfenster morgens. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Ihm voraus liegt die "Langsame Heimkehr", jenes Werk, mit dem Handke sich wie nie zuvor "ausgesetzt" hatte - ein kritischer Wendepunkt seines Schreibens, vom Absturz in die "Sprachlosigkeit" bedroht und nach eigener Aussage mit dem Verlust des "Charismas" bezahlt.
		Die Übersetzung - in diesem Fall von Ralph Manheim (auf den Handke später einen berührenden Nachruf geschrieben hat) - bekräftigt ein Wagnis, das in der Folge gelassener und freizügiger fortgesetzt und erneuert werden kann.
		Handkes Zitate aus der Weltliteratur, vom georgischen Epos des Mittelalters bis zum "Talmud", von Francis Ponge bis zum japanischen Haiku und No-Spiel, von Franz Michael Felder bis Hugo von Hofmannsthal, sind nicht auf Verkündigungsssätze und Weisheiten aus.

	Swans Commentary: The Peter Handke Controversy, by Gilles d'Aymery - ga209
		Peter Handke underlines them in his right of response that we are publishing below and that will appear in the Nouvel Observateur next week [May 11, 2006] with a delay for which we beg him to excuse us.
		Of Handke he says that "it's unbelievable, he does not know where is the world, he does not know where is the truth, he does not know where is history, he does not believe in the accounts from witnesses: that's what he said on Milosevic's grave!"
		First, that is decidedly not what Peter Handke said in his short speech, and, second, the ICTY has not proven anything Bozonnet claims it did.

	Don Juan (erzählt von ihm selbst) - Peter Handke
		Peter Handke's Don Juan-novella is an unusual take on the legendary figure.
		More than anything, Handke is an obsessive story-teller, but, like A.S.Byatt, he is also interested in the meaning, possibilities, and consequences of story-telling, and uses his fictions to explore these.
		Handke warns the readers from the first, with an epigraph from Da Ponte's libretto to Mozart's opera: "Chi son'io tu non saprai" ("You will not discover who I am"): it is not disguise but the very identity of the central figure that will remain unkowable.
