In my mind, Handke's Langsame Heimkehr has always been a quintessential work. The observation of geology, of rocks, least involves subjectivity. The landscape, stripped from time, names, each detail having no greater importance than another, one pebble no greater significance than the other. Ultimately, we are detached from our surroundings. We can enter into a relation with our surroundings by caring. Depicting, turning observations into interpretations involves subjectivity, as shown in Handke's other early novel Die Lehre der Sainte-Victoire.
Children more than any other represent the group of carefree observers, much inclined to giving names, but not always able to name things correctly ("Dingsda") subjective but not show more judgemental.
Lucie im Wald mit den Dingsda is a very light, carefee short story, much in line with Handke's philosophy. Illustrated by the author. show less
