The first of Peter Handke's novels to be published in English, "The
Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick "is a true modern classic that
"portrays the...breakdown of a murderer in ways that recall Camus's
"The Stranger"" (Richard Locke, "The New York Times). "The
self-destruction of a soccer goalie turned construction worker who
wanders aimlessly around a stifling Austrian border town after
pursuing and then murdering, almost unthinkingly, a female movie
cashier is mirrored by his use of direct, sometimes fractured prose
that conveys "at its best a seamless blend of lyricism and horror
seen in the runes of a disintegrating world" (Bill Marx, "Boston
Sunday Globe). "
