“I just sing.” A favorite song of his once from the album From Nowhere by the Troggs. What does this mean for Handke? I sing, I write poetry, I narrate – for Handke, this is pure romanticism, the realm of the mysterious and the mystical, which does not thrive in grounded reality and political messages.

Literature not as an improvement of the world, but as an attempt to know oneself, liberated from the bonds of realism.
