WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 'Portrays the breakdown of
a murderer in ways that recall Camus' The Stranger' The New York
Times Joseph Bloch, a once-famous goalkeeper turned construction
worker, commits a random murder without thought or regret. As he
wanders the streets, from hotel to bar, cinema to tram stop,
experiencing strange and violent encounters on the way, he finds
himself, and everything around him, disintegrating. Told in spare
and icy prose, Peter Handke's masterpiece of alienation takes apart
our ideas of humanity and reality itself. 'A Kafkaesque crime
novel' Los Angeles Times Translated by Michael Roloff
