An odyssey through the mind and memory of a washed-up writer, from one of Europe’s most provocative novelists, Nobel Prize winner Peter HandkeMysteriously summoned to a houseboat on the Morava River, a few friends, associates, and collaborators of an old writer listen as he tells a story that will last until dawn: the tale of the once well-known writer’s recent odyssey across Europe. As his story unfolds, it visits places that represent stages of the narrator’s and the continent’s past, many now lost or irrecoverably changed through war, death, and the subtler erosions of time. His wanderings take him from the Balkans to Spain, Germany, and Austria, from a congress of experts on noise sickness to a clandestine international gathering of jew’s-harp virtuosos. His story and its telling are haunted by a beautiful stranger, a woman who has a preternatural hold over the writer and appears sometimes as a demon, sometimes as the longed-for destination of his travels.Powerfully alive, honest, and at times deliciously satirical, The Moravian Night explores the mind and memory of an aging writer, tracking the anxieties, angers, fears, and pleasures of a life inseparable from the recent history of Central Europe. In crystalline prose, Peter Handke traces and interrogates his own thoughts and perceptions while endowing the world with a mythic dimension. As Jeffrey Eugenides writes, “Handke’s sharp eye is always finding a strange beauty amid this colorless world.” The Moravian Night is at once an elegy for the lost and forgotten and a novel of self-examination and uneasy discovery, from one of world literature’s great voices.

A Great Book

This is a great work of fiction if you get it. Easy to see why many would give it one star however. I have been a Handke fan for forever and this is one of his best. He is the story teller and we are the audience.

Did not work for me

Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2017

I've read a lot of books...... and alot of tough books....... Cormac McCarthy, for example, is one of my favorite authors. I like Max Tegmarks "Our Mathimatical Universe." I majored in German in college....... so I figured what would there be not to like with trying Herr Handke for the first time. Well, I am 10% of the way through, according to my Kindle and I give up. The book gets your interest and attention from the first with the mention of Samarkand, Numancia and the Moravia river and friends invited to "the former writer's" boat for a story.

The problem for me comes later on when the author starts getting inside the mind (I suppose) of the narrator. For example: "He felt carried away, knew he was carried away at the sight of that bench in the former brandy-distilling cave, shimmmering in the early morning light. Carried away? Did such raptures happen nowadays. Being carried away was certainly not the same as losing touch with reality......... How real everything (everything?) appeared in this rapture, not only the bench, not only the structure. That was it. That is it. That will have been it. This form of being carried away whisked things into their proper place. People too?"

And it goes on like that. A statement will be made then followed by questioning the statement. The interesting opening of the book became, for me, lost in the numerous questionings back and forth. (To be fair I did drop philosophy in college - too many philosophers engrossed in navel-gazing).

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2021

I was looking forward to reading this book as I have great regard for this author but this book was almost incomprehensible with its efforts to create something mystical or unworldly. Truth is, I did not even attempt to conclude the book. Perhaps other readers will find it all more straightforward and creative.
