Den sista gästens ballad

AvPeter Handke

Inbunden, Svenska, 2025

Gregor återvänder hem från en annan del av världen. Den »tidigare lantliga trakten« har blivit en tätort, är på samma gång bekant och främmande. Också familjen har förändrats: även om fadern likt tidigare väntar med spelkorten har systern oväntat ett dibarn i famnen. Han, den äldre brodern, ska bli barnets gudfar. Av lillebrodern Hans återstår bara ett dödsbud som den äldre brodern har undanhållit familjen, och minnen, likt olyckan med brännässlorna. Till och med fruktträdgården har blivit en annan. Den ligger fortfarande på samma plats, men är inte längre möjlig att rädda. Så dras Gregor till gatorna och gränderna, till biografen och fotbollsstadion, till skogen och vidare.

I Peter Handkes roman flätas nutid och dåtid samman, det ena tycks tippa över i det andra och allt står »på en knivsegg«. På sin väg tillbaka till familjen, genom det som en gång var bekanta landskap, stannar berättaren gång på gång upp, barndomsminnen väcks till liv och inre röster träder in i dialogen. Det som en gång var har oåterkalleligt förändrats och förblir ändå bekant.

Den ene minns en teaterpjäs han sett som barn, kanske inte själva pjäsen, men miljön och kulisserna. Ett slags urbild som vandraren igenkänner i grannstäder, i en lada eller en kyrkogård. Den andre minns sin släkting i skyttegraven, som där umgicks med djuren.

Dialog är en rörelse mellan röster och minnen.

Min dag i det andra landet. En demonhistoria

"Det jag rasade mot, förutom inne på min uttjänta kyrkogård fjärran från civilisation, var hela skapelsen, och inte längre bara i byn och i grannbyarna i min stamtrakt, utan över hela landet, som förvisso var litet, och till sist inte heller som med handen för munnen, nej, för full hals, i ett ramaskri, 'utan att bli det minsta hes' (vilket jag senare fick höra, i just den ordalydelsen, från både en och annan)."

En demonhistoria, en poetisk förvandling, en befrielse och en ortsnärvaro

Peter Handkes Min dag i det andra landet är alla dessa saker. Boken är hans första efter att han mottog Nobelpriset.

Gregor returns home from another continent. The landscape, formerly dotted with small villages, has been absorbed into the outskirts of a large city, both familiar and foreign at the same time. His father sits playing cards, waiting for him, but Gregor is surprised to find his sister holding an infant. He, the older brother, is to be the child’s godfather - though he also carries with him the secret of his younger brother’s death.In the end, Gregor is never quite able to stay put. He is drawn out into the world, into the streets and alleys of what is now a city, to the cinema, the soccer stadium, the forest, and above all the old fruit orchard, now overgrown and beyond saving. As he walks, the present and the past become intertwined - memories of childhood surface, and inner voices enter into dialogue.Revisiting many of the settings and themes of Peter Handke’s previous works, The Ballad of the Last Guest takes stock of the changes that have been wrought on the land - and on human beings - over the course of the twenty-first century.

'Kaspar is based on the historical case of a 16-year-old boy who appeared from nowhere in Nuremberg in 1828 and who had to be taught to speak from scratch . . . Handke's play is a downright attack on the way language is used by a corrupt society to depersonalise the individual'. - Michael Billington, the Guardian.'Handke's most sustained study in social indoctrination . . . there could be no better introduction to Handke.' - Irving Wardle, The Times.Kaspar is the most extraordinary and impressive play to date by Peter Handke. First staged in Germany in 1968, it was hailed by Max Frisch as 'the play of the decade'. The central character is Kaspar, a figure based on the historical Kaspar Hauser, an autistic adolescent, who is guided and taught until he speaks 'normally', by the voices of unseen prompters. As the words begin to coincide with reality, Kaspar learns to manipulate both. In the latter part of the play the tension between the individual and 'the others' is further expressed through the image of the original Kaspar surrounded by a host of identical 'Kaspars'.Having chosen language as a vehicle, Peter Handke explores it as a means of oppression - a means of creating artificial uniformity by teaching people to comprehend the world only in terms of the speech patterns they are given.

Peter Handke's work is amongst the most strikingly original of all post-war European writing (Times Educational Supplement) Offending the Audience is "a dissection of our expectations about what ought to happen in the theatre." Self-Accusation is "a cunning and ironic attack on bureaucratic moral guilt" (Observer); Kaspar is based on the true story of Kaspar Hauser, a sixteen year old boy who appeared from nowhere in Nuremberg in 1828 and who had to be taught to speak from scratch. Handke's play is a downright attack on the way language is used by a corrupt society to depersonalise the individual; My Foot My Tutor is a mime for two actors - "Handke has here written an hour-long play without words that may at first look like a piece of audience-provocation but that finishes up as sheer theatrical poetry" (Guardian). In The Ride across Lake Constance, a group of characters (known only by the names of the actors who perform the parts) talk and play games together and skate over the thin ice that separates them from unspoken danger. "Intensely theatrical...an author for whom playwriting seems akin to tightrope walking" (The Times).They Are Dying Out puts the pillars of the bourgeoisie under the microscope to reveal an alien race, suffocated by rationality, unable to cope with untamed subjective impulses and shows an "uncanny knack for making the familiar seem strange" (Plays and Players).

Till Day You Do Part

Described as an answer to or at least an echo of Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape?, Till Day You Do Part Or A Question of Light, by esteemed Austrian playwright and novelist Peter Handke, is a monologue delivered by the "she" in Beckett's play. This unnamed female similarly recalls other significant women protagonists in Handke's own work such as The Lefthanded Woman. Handke prefaces the monologue in Till Day You Do PartOr a Question of Light with a description of two stone figures. While the male figure remains "as dead and gone as anyone can," the female bursts into life, and her monologue gradually focuses on Krapp's use of pauses and language to dominate the other characters in the Beckett play. Ultimately, however, her complaints and critique of Krapp become a declaration of her love for Krapp or at least an affirmation of their attachment, as the two of them are ultimately bound together, perhaps even inseparable. Till Day You Do Part Or a Question of Light is Handke at his best, evidencing the great skill, psychological acumen, and vision for which his work has been celebrated.

Great Fall

Tillfälligt slut

"On the day of the Great Fall he left nothing, nothing at all behind." The latest work by Peter Handke, one of our greatest living writers, chronicles a day in life of an aging actor as he makes his way on foot from the outskirts of a great metropolis into its center. He is scheduled to receive a prestigious award that evening from the country's president, and the following day he is supposed to start shooting for a film--perhaps his last--in which he plays a man who runs amok. While passing through a forest, he encounters the outcasts of the society--homeless people and migrants--but he keeps trudging along, traversing a suburb whose inhabitants are locked in petty but mortal conflicts, crossing a seemingly unbridgeable superhighway, and wandering into an abandoned railyard, where police, unused to pedestrians, detain him briefly on suspicion of terrorism. Things don't improve when he reaches the heart of the city. There he can't help but see the alienation characteristic of its residents and the omnipresent malign influence of electronic technology. What, then, is the "Great Fall"? What is this heart-wrenching, humorous, distinctively attentive narrative trying to tell us? As usual, Peter Handke, deeply introspective and powerfully critical of the world around him, leaves it to the reader to figure out.

Peter Handke, a giant of Austrian literature, has produced decades of fiction, poetry, and drama informed by some of the most tumultuous events in modern history. But even as these events shaped his work, the presence of his motherâ--a woman whose life spanned the Weimar Republic, both world wars, and the postwar consumer economy--loomed even larger. In Storm Still, Handke's most recent work, he returns to the land of his birth, the Austrian province of Carinthia. There on the Jaunfeld, the plain at the center of Austria's Slovenian settlement, the dead and the living of a family meet and talk. Composed as a series of monologues, Storm Still chronicles both the battle of the Slovene minority against Nazism and their love of the land. Presenting a panorama that extends back to the author's bitter roots in the region, Storm Still blends penetrating prose and poetic drama to explore Handke's personal history, taking up themes from his earlier books and revisiting some of their characters. In this book, the times of conflict and peace, war and prewar, and even the seasons themselves shift and overlap. And the fate of an orchard comes to stand for the fate of a people.

Second Sword: A Tale from the Merry Month of May, and My Day in the Other Land: A Tale of Demons

The Second Sword and My Day in the Other Land are two new novellas by the 2019 Nobel laureate Peter Handke. The first picks up the story where Handke’s last work of fiction, The Fruit Thief (described in The New York Times as “an experience of unadulterated literature”), left off. Here a man has returned to his home in the suburbs of Paris, only to soon set out again. Why? We learn, over the course of a story redolent of Handke’s harrowing A Sorrow Beyond Dreams, that he is seeking to avenge his mother, who has been unjustly denounced in the pages of a newspaper. The Second Sword is a suspenseful work of self-examination: Will the narrator’s journey end in him throwing down the gauntlet?My Day in the Other Land is Handke’s most recently published work - and the first to be written after he was awarded the Nobel Prize. Evoking imagery from the Bible and classical mythology, it portrays a man who has been possessed by demons, causing him to rage endlessly against the inhabitants of his rural village. Aided by his sister, he embarks on a journey to a lake on whose opposite shore lies the “other land.” What ensues is an exorcism of sorts - and one of Handke’s most evocative and original endings.
