Slow Homecoming Signed First Edition Reference

Langsame Heimkehr (Suhrkamp, 1979; English: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1985) follows Valentin Sorger, a geologist, from Alaska through New York to Central Europe — a journey that doubles as a search for a form of perception adequate to the world. Handke’s prose becomes increasingly dense and meditative, approaching the rhythm of geological time.
