Item description from seller

First Collier Books Edition 1989, 1st printing. 149pp. Translated by Ralph Manheim. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "The two short novels collected in this volume, 'A Moment of True Feeling' and 'The Left-Handed Woman,' represent a new stage in Peter Handke's career, and illustrate why he has been called 'one of the most original and provocative of contemporary writers' (The New York Times Book Review). In 'A Moment of True Feeling,' a man with the outward appearance of success--a respectable job, a wife, child and friends--dreams that he has committed a murder. On awakening, he wanders the streets of Paris searching for the moment that will reveal the new meaning of his life. In 'The Left-Handed Woman,' considered by some to be his best novel, Handke recounts the piece-by-piece dissolution of a marriage from a young wife's point of view. 'A ballet of words and images forcing all feelings to the surface,' it questions the possibility of complete understanding between the sexes and confirms, once again, Peter Handke's 'enormous gifts as a writer, poet and artist' (The New Republic)." [publisher copy] "Handke has become a self-reflexive magic realist, a Marquez of the mind."--The Boston Phoenix. "This book proves further that, in power and vision and range, he is the most important writer on the international scene since Beckett."--Saturday Review. Fine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a tiny-tiny spot inside front cover, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
