He explores the world and describes his many severed relationships, from his tenuous contact with his son, to a failed marriage to the Catalan, to a doomed love affair with a former Miss Yugoslavia. As the writer sifts through his memories, he is also under pressure to complete his next novel, but he cannot decide how to come to terms with both the complexity of the world and the inability of his novel to reflect it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Handke was born in Griffen, Austria, in 1942.
