Set in 1960, Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke's Repetition narrates
Filip Kobal's journey from his home in Carinthia to Slovenia on the
trail of his brother Gregor, who disappeared in the region after
deserting from the German army and joining the Partisans. He takes
with him two books that had belonged to Gregor: a copybook from
agricultural college, which mainly concerns the care and grafting
of fruit trees, and a Slovene-German dictionary, in which Gregor
has marked certain words. The resulting investigation of the laws
of language and naming becomes a transformative investigation of
himself and the world around him.
