As Handke's first American translator Kaspar & Other Plays;, etc etc , today is his 74th birthday,!! And the Moravian publication day in the USA,

"The Moravian Night" is my second favorite of all his books - the most favored being "Die Geschichte des Bleistifts", translated into French and Spanish, but not into English; an immensely rich diary and work book.

The Moravian Night, too, touches on numerous matters, yet is a magnificent narrative collage & invention that asks not to be read only autobiographically; with a variety of stories, some quite mysterious, some that have conclusions.
