| 520 | |a Second sword: Picks up the story where Handke's last work of fiction, The Fruit Thief, left off. Here a man has returned to his home in the suburbs of Paris, only to soon set out again. Why? We learn, over the course of a story that he is seeking to avenge his mother, who has been unjustly denounced in the pages of a newspaper. A suspenseful work of self-examination: Will the narrator's journey end in him throwing down the gauntlet? | ||
| 520 | |a My day in the other land: Evoking imagery from the Bible and classical mythology, the work portrays a man who has been possessed by demons, causing him to rage endlessly against the inhabitants of his rural village. Aided by his sister, he embarks on a journey to a lake on whose opposite shore lies the "other land." What ensues is an exorcism of sorts--and one of Handke's most evocative and original endings. | ||
