Synopsis
Handke's novel tells the story of a quiet, organized classics teacher named Andreas Loser. One night, on the way to his regularly scheduled card game, he passes a tree that has been defaced by a swastika. Impulsively yet deliberately, he tracks down the defacer and kills him. With this act, Loser has crossed an invisble threshold, and will be stuck in this secular purgatory until he can confess his crime.

Hardcover. First Edition USA (1986), so stated. First Edition USA (1986), so stated. Very Near Fine in Fine DJ: The Book shows the slightest a hint of shelf-soiling to the bottom edge of the quarter-cloth boards; there is a production flaw: the rear board is very slightly larger than the front board; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting, marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of minor, unobtrusive imperfections. Bright, crisp and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. The DJ is flawless; the price is intact; mylar-protected. Virtually "As New". NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.75 x 5.85 x 0.75 inches). 138 pages. Translated by and Ralph Manheim. Language: English. Weight: 11.3 ouncse. Hardback with DJ. In 2019, Handke 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.".
