the year 2008 saw Handke publish Morawische Nacht in Germany to great acclaim 

and Sierra del Gredos in the U.S. to some of the greatest idiocies yet perpetrated, especially by neil gordon, who claims to teach realism at "the new schoool," in the New York Times Review. For this see

where my take on Gordon's review is decimated and I am starting to write the long planned book

length essay on Handke's development as a prose writer, using Del Gredos as my jumping off point, and with 50

sometime essay length notes on the other works... 

These  two novels are both memorialized at
http://www.handkeprose2.scriptmania.com/ on pages devoted to each book and their reviews. I have posted a long discussion of SIERRA DEL GREDOS at

a handke play that appears to be a footnote to Beckett;s Krapps Last Tape just premiered at the Berliner Ensemble in Germany, it had been playing in France prior to this engagement.

Comedie-Francaise Drops Handke Play

The Comedie-Francaise, citing the prominent avant-garde Austrian playwright Peter Handke's support for Slobodan Milosevic, the former president of Yugoslavia who died in March, has canceled plans to produce one of his works, Agence France-Presse reported yesterday. According to a spokesman, the decision by Marcel Bozonnet, the administrator of the theater company, not to present Voyage to the Sonorous Land, or the Art of Asking, an inquiry into language, was made after reading a report of Mr. Handke's presence at Mr. Milosevic's funeral in Serbia. Mr. Milosevic died while being tried on charges of genocide and war crimes. Mr. Handke, perhaps best known as a co-writer of the screenplay for "Wings of Desire," gave a eulogy at the funeral. Mr. Bozonnet told Le Monde, =The theater is a tribune; its effect goes far beyond the audience at a single performance.= He went on to say that even if Voyage to the Sonorous Land, originally scheduled for January, was not a piece of propaganda, a performance would lend the playwright visibility.

I posted the following at the above le monde blog

Pardon my Amurrican, but I don't wish to offend French sensibilities with mutterings in that beautiful tongue.
The play =DIE KUNST DES FRAGENS, oder die Reise in das sonore Land= happens to be a truly great play; it creates a profound and delicious sense of deep puzzlement in the audience, something that, ordinarily, is achieved only after years of psychoanalysis.
I havve known Herr Handke since 1966, personally feel some considerable justified ambivalence about him, little ambivalence if any about most of his work, whose early plays until UEBER DIE DOERFER [Par les Villages, I believe is its French title] and have written extensively on various aspects of Handke, including his involvemen in matters Yugo-Slavian. It appears Handke was following his grandfather's road in hoping for a continued federation, also as a counter model to the current European federation. Best as I can tell from this distant perspective that depends entirely on written texts and documentation, he is not guilty of denial of anything, but of not speaking in platitudes. Last year he published an essay in the German magazine LITERATUREN, in which he detailed why he would not appear as a defense withness at Slobodan Milosovic's trial, where I especially liked how he made fun of his own sense of self-righteousness. That he came out in simple defense of the Serbian people against the orchestrated attempt, in Europe and in the United States, to make them solely responsible for the disintegration of Yugo-Slavia I find worthty of the highest praise, as compared to no end of writers, such as Salmon Rushdie, who were only too ready to join the lyinching mob, or band wagon, as so many pret a porter intellectuals frequently are. Having disassociated himself from the defense of the more and more indefensible Slobodan Milosoviscs - as the trial proceeded and his entire history became available -- I don't think Handke needed to show up at the funeral, have his photo taken in front of a huge flag like photo of Milosevics, or make any kind of funeral oration. Herr Handke can be as petit bourgeois, exhibitionistic and obnoxious - the German word is BORNIERT - as Bozonet. THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS in this instance is THE PLAY. I am glad that there is a controversy over a great play!
