<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A combination of professional notebook and personal diary that records -- both in short, informal jottings and through more formal, extended meditations -- the details of Handke's daily life in Paris from November 1975 through March 1977. Along with references to such mentors as Truffaut, John Cowper Powys, Robert DeNiro and Goethe, the journal recounts Handke's passing impressions of strangers; the deep and delicate nature of his relationship with his daughter; and a brief hospital stay which stirs his ever-present fear of death.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Handke</b> was born in Grifen, Austria, in 1942. His many novels include <i>The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick</i>, <i>A Sorrow Beyond Dreams</i>, and <i>Don Juan</i>, all published by FSG. Handke's dramatic works include <i>Kaspar</i> and the screenplay for Wim Wenders's <i>Wings of Desire</i>. In 2014, Handke was awarded the International Ibsen Award. In 2019, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience."
