Peter Handke: In the Woods, Might Be Late

Nov 10, 2016

In the sixties, Peter Handke was one of the first to show how the business works: the writer as angry young man and pop star of the literary scene.

Peter Handke's precise, free gaze becomes perceptible in his texts, his conversations, the cosmos of his notebooks.
