It might be changed later. Handke's DJ is certainly a different flavored picaresque-opera. <br /><br />As to the particular gaze, my understanding is that readers are naturally gifted with the look. Should be effortless for them. *cough*.Risehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446964640160585194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-41259464504753343832013-11-06T20:03:13.585+08:002013-11-06T20:03:13.585+08:00great Choice for german lit month Rise I ve just r...great Choice for german lit month Rise I ve just reaquaint myself with Handke after a long time since I last read him and agree he is a very modern writer I will certainly be reading this one at some point I ll have my review of a reread of the goalkeeper anxiety by him later in the month ,all the best stuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-35471112423401406412013-11-05T12:02:20.127+08:002013-11-05T12:02:20.127+08:00Do you think they sell that "active gaze"...Do you think they sell that "active gaze" in the stores? I could use a couple for my own womanweek, ha ha. That being said, I was interested to hear about this "Spanish" theme being translated into German and international waters all wrapped up in a César Aira-like page count. Not at all what I would have expected but it sounds promising nonetheless. P.S.

I saw...Thanks. The book was a literary minefield. <br /><br />I saw you mention <i>The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick</i> as a possible read.
