Challenging!By Richard L. UllmanOnly serious readers. It's a long, complicated read. Difficult to summarize. A sort if stream of consciousness. The final 4 chapters are worth it.9 of 11 people found the following review helpful. I could not have said it better.By An Ordinary Man in New HavenHandke's work goes on and on. Growing into our political consciousnesses, enriching our awareness of the art of the novel, of writing at all.I am intimidated enough by my love of Handke's novels and plays (and essays) that though I have more than once been tempted to make comments ("reviews"? ndash; oh my pretensions!) I have every time been met by THE WALL of my inadequacies.But today the novelist Joshua Cohen, in his review of this book in THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW (January 1. 2017), has done my work for me. I could not have said it better ndash; and though would not allow me to post the link to the review, I encourage you to seek it out.6 of 10 people found the following review helpful. MY SECOND FAVORITE HANDKE BOOKBy Michael RoloffAs Handke's first American translator [Kaspar Other Plays;, etc etc] MORAWIAN NIGHT is my second favorite of all his books - the most favored being, Die Geschichte des Bleistifts], translated into French and Spanish, but not into English; an immensely rich diary and work book, MORAWIAN NIGHT, too, touches on numerous matters, yet is a magnificent narrative collage invention that asks not to be read only autobiographically; with a variety of stories, some quite mysterious, some that have conclusions. a I am conducting with fellow Handke translator Scott Abbott an online discussion of the book @: [...] An odyssey through the mind and memory of a washed-up writer, from one of Europersquo;s most provocative novelistsMysteriously summoned to a houseboat on the Morava River, a few friends, associates, and collaborators of an old writer listen as he tells a story that will last until dawn: the tale of the once well-known writerrsquo;s recent odyssey across Europe. As his story unfolds, it visits places that represent stages of the narratorrsquo;s and the continentrsquo;s past, many now lost or irrecoverably changed through war, death, and the subtler erosions of time. His wanderings take him from the Balkans to Spain, Germany, and Austria, from a congress of experts on noise sickness to a clandestine international gathering of jewrsquo;s-harp virtuosos. His story and its telling are haunted by a beautiful stranger, a woman who has a preternatural hold over the writer and appears sometimes as a demon, sometimes as the longed-for destination of his travels.Powerfully alive, honest, and at times deliciously satirical, The Moravian Night explores the mind and memory of an aging writer, tracking the anxieties, angers, fears, and pleasures of a life inseparable from the recent history of Central Europe. In crystalline prose, Peter Handke traces and interrogates his own thoughts and perceptions while endowing the world with a mythic dimension. As Jeffrey Eugenides writes, ldquo;Handkersquo;s sharp eye is always finding a strange beauty amid this colorless world.rdquo; The Moravian Night is at once an elegy for the lost and forgotten and a novel of self-examination and uneasy discovery, from one of world literaturersquo;s great voices. "Peter Handke commands one of the great German-language prose styles of the postwar period, a riverine rhetoric deep and swift and contrary of current." ?Joshua Cohen, The New York Times Book "A searching exploration of how travel and storytelling can help us find our truest selves." ?Poornima Apte, Booklist"The renowned Austrian novelist looks back on a body of work and a terrible century in this elegiac tale . Some of Handke's text is a kind of meditation on history . And some is simply lovely . Stellar." ?Kirkus s (starred review)About the AuthorPeter Handke was born in Griffen, Austria, in 1942. His many works include The Goaliersquo;s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick,A Sorrow Beyond Dreams, My Year in No-Manrsquo;s-Bay, On a Dark Night I Left My Silent House, Crossing the Sierra de Gredos, and Don Juan, all published by FSG. Handkersquo;s plays include Kaspar and The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other, and he wrote the screenplay for Wim Wendersrsquo;s Wings of Desire. In 2014, Handke was awarded the International Ibsen Prize.Krishna Winston is the Marcus L. Taft Professor of German Language and Literature at Wesleyan University. She has translated more than thirty books, including five previous works by Peter Handke and works by Werner Herzog, Guuml;nter Grass, Christoph Hein, and Goethe.

  • Handke's Kaspar, Wittgenstein's Tractates, and the Successful Representation of Alienation James R. Hamilton
    Spring 1995 3 Handke's Kaspar, Wittgenstein's Tractates, and the successful representation of alienation James R. Hamilton The prologue to Peter Handke's play Kaspar begins with these words: The play Kaspar does not show how IT REALLY IS or REALLY WAS with Kaspar Hauser. It shows what is POSSIBLE with someone. It shows how someone can be made to speak through speaking. The play could also be called speech torture} The prologue concludes with this remark: "(While the audience comes in and as they wait for the play to begin, this text might be read softly over the microphones, and repeated over and over" [K61]). Accordingly, the next sentences would be, again, the first sentences of the introduction: "The play Kaspar does not show how IT REALLY IS or REALLY WAS with Kaspar Hauser. The play could also be called speech torture" The prologue continues by providing a detailed description of the staging devices to be employed in the performance, to be used "to formalize this torture." Among the devices will be voices that address the protagonist, voices whose "manner of speaking should be that of voices which in reality have a technical medium interposed between themselves and the listeners" (telephones, bullhorns, records, microphones [K59]). We are also told that "the audience does not see the stage as a representation of a room that exists somewhere ... the stage represents the stage" (K60). The objects on the stage are to appear theatrical, to be "instantly recognizable as props." The objects "have no history." The spectators, moreover, are not to be able, from what is there, to "imagine that, before they came in and saw the stage, some tale had already taken place on it," nor to "be in a position to imagine that there [will be] a sequel to [some] story." They are to recognize that they "will not experience a story but watch a theatrical event" (K60).
