Each of these essays is a master class in self-absorption. Handke is peripatetic and restless, and each piece is at once an instance of generic travel writing and a record of extraordinary noticing. He proceeds not just from place to place, but also from instance to instance, sensation to sensation. He looks so deeply into himself, he finds the world.
Handke makes curious statements and the prose, at least in translation, can get flamboyant.
