Description
Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke's novel Short Letter, Long Farewell tells the story of a
young Austrian--evidently modeled on the author--on a harrowing month's journey across
the United StatesThe book opens in Providence, where a letter awaits the un-named narrator
from his estranged wife, Judith. "I am in New York," it says. "Please don't look for me. It would not
be nice for you to find me."As the novel proceeds, however, it gradually becomes clear that Judith
is pursuing him, not vice versa--pursuing with the intent to kill. He spends a day in New York, then
goes on to Philadelphia, where he joins an old flame and her daughter. The trio drives to St. Louis,
still shadowed by Judith; partly to escape her (and partly to face her), the narrator strikes out west
on his own, to Tucson, where he is robbed by Judith's agents, then up to the Oregon coast, where
a roadside showdown takes place and a gunshot echoes over the Pacific."I seem to have been
born for horror and fear," Handke's narrator confesses.As the narrator and Judith maneuver
toward their coastal rendezvous, his life itself may depend on whether he has achieved enough--in
the flesh and in the mind--to confront the pistol trembling in her hand.
