This is the fourth part of Handke's "homecoming cycle", whose other
three parts can be found under the American title "A Slow
Homecoming". The underlying story line could not be simpler. The
"prodigal" writer Gregor returns to his home village. He and his
brother Hans, a construction worker, and his shopkeeper sister have
a dispute over the disposition of the house which the parents had
built and the land which they had cleared with their own hands many
years before. Within this straightforward conflict, Handke touches
upon almost every aspect of our existence. It is a lyrical play, a
poetic drama on the order of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, and Dylan
Thomas' Under Milk Wood. It is an "Everyman and Everywoman"
dramatic poem for our time.
