4.0 out of 5 stars Great little Handke!, February 25, 2006
By 
Uncle Borges (Via Lungomare 6) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Afternoon of a Writer (Paperback)
Great little prose musings by Handke. One of his most accesible books. Needles to praise that hector among the translators, the one and only Ralph Manheim (of the L.F.Céline's fame,among others). I will just quote one thought from this brilliant Austrian maverick writer: "What he had written that day was irrelevant and meaningless; he should have never written it, for to write was criminal; to produce a work of art, a book, was presumption, more damnable than any other sin."
