Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke-"the extravagantly talented Austrian playwright of chutzpah, novelist of sensibility, poet of linguistic games" (Kirkus)-ponders the life and early death of his mother
"The Sunday edition of the Kärntner Volkszeitung carried the following item under 'Local News': 'In the village of A. (G. township), a housewife, aged 51, committed suicide on Friday night by taking an overdose of sleeping pills.'"
So opens A Sorrow Beyond Dreams, Handke's reckoning with his mother's life-which spanned the rise of the Nazis, World War II, and postwar suffering-and death. Both stark and lyrical, full of love, anger, admiration, and a keen sense of history, this slim book reveals Handke at his most lucid and direct. It is the most moving and accessible work in his distinguished career; it is "indispensable" (Bill Marx, The Boston Globe).
