Product Description
"[Handke is] a supremely talented writer . . . The Ballad of the Last Guest conjures the spirit of [Kafka and Camus]." --Tobias Grey, Financial Times
A novel about a man who returns home, only to find that home is now unrecognizable, by the Nobel laureate Peter Handke.
A man named Gregor returns to his hometown 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, while his sister holds a new baby. All the while, Gregor carries with him the secret of his younger brother's death.
