This book by Rainer Naegele & Renate Vois (in Beck's series Autorenbuecher) was really a disappointment. I had hoped this to be biographical but it turned out to be literary criticism, and since the book was published in 1978, it deals with Peter Handke's early work in three section: Part A: Kurzproza, Die Hornissen, Der Hausierer, Die Angst des Tormans beim Elfmeter, Der kurze Brief zum langen Abschied, Wuenschloses Ungluck, Die Stunde der waren Empfindung and Die linkshaendige Frau; Part B: Theaterstuecke, Hoerspiele, Filme; and Part C: Lyrik. These are all works which I either have not yet read or read more than 30 years ago, too long ago to remember any detail. Since the whole book is less than 150 pages, each work is discussed very briefly and succinctly.

My subsequent reading of various works by Handke later in July and August wasn't particularly informed by this work.
