at a paris restaurant, reading his freuqently criticized Le Monde, possibly consuming rabbit in mustard sauce. See the split off part of Handke, the restaurateur who = in NO=MAN'S=BAY = moves further and further into the woods as he keeps going bankrupt because he is as fussy about the guests he serves as the food that he prepares...
|
in his Moenchsberg Studio, talking, evidently with animation

at his 60th birthday party, daugher amina, who is a disk jockey, is taking care of the music. Handke stated that he danced only once, in a bar in fairbanks, evidently while absorbing alaska for A SLOW HOMECOMING, and with an Indian woman, with whom he lacked the alacrity to run away.. as we are getting along in life we are beginning to loosen up a bit...

with Erich Wolfgang Skwara in the center, at Skwara's receipt of the Hermann Lenz prize, which was created by Handke's friend, the magazine magnate, Burda. The widow Lenz, possibly the only harmless person of the three, on the left. Skwara, a don juan, however, is not the model or anything, but possibly provided an iota of inspiration for the 2004 narrative DON JUAN [AS TOLD BY HIMSELF] and is not to be trusted to be left along with any sensate being, including house pets and domesticated animals!

baby tuckoo as love child with the salvaging beautiful maria sivec, his mother, one year after his birth, one more year of paradise and all hell starts to set in domestically and outside in Berlin in 1944

a self evident photo, handke, like hermann lenz, however may be using nature photos to confirm his memory of landscapes... i say MAY

the GRIFFEN SEMINARY [Stift} that Handke attended from age 12 to 16, whereupon he transferred to a regular Gymnasium in Klagenfurt, lots of bus rides...
|
the OFFICIAL PORTRAIT.... which makes him look like THE COUNT VON GRIFFEN... I like the very thin smile that plays over his lips... as compared to the Cheshire cat smile that became detectable on his fellow Carinthian Schwarzenegger's face around the time that he starred with Danny DeVito in TWINS...

in Belgrad during the US bombardement... as Susan Sontag so infamously, nearly unforgivably, said in the NT Times Magazine at the time" "And now it is the Serbs turn to be victims..."
|
It appears Handke had a lot of photos taken of him already as a student!! Haslinger's book is one of the few - aside Handke's own SORROW BEYOND DREAMS, that affords reliable data on his life as a boy...

on the then and possibly still Croation island of Krk, 1965, writing his first novel DIE HORNISSEN

IN PARIS, EARLY 7OS

THIS VERY POSED PHOTO, POSSIBLY TAKEN FOR THE "FELSFENSTER" [ROCK WINDOW] PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN, SEEMS TO SAY, AS HANDKE HAS SAID: "I'M NOT SUCH A SOFTEE." NONETHELESS. NO ONE HAS DESCRIBED WHAT IT IS LIKE TO EAT AN APPLE AS WELL AS HANDKE HAS SINCE A CERTAIN WRITER FROM MISSISSIPI, AND I DONT MEAN FAULKNER...the very Simian looks of that left hand!
