Description: Title: The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick Author: Handke, Peter Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux Binding: Paperback Pages: 144 Dimensions: 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d Product Weight: 0.4 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780374531065 The first of Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke's novels to be published in English, The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick is a true modern classic that "portrays the...breakdown of a murderer in ways that recall Camus's The Stranger" (The New York Times). The self-destruction of a soccer goalie turned construction worker who wanders aimlessly around a stifling Austrian border town after pursuing and then murdering, almost unthinkingly, a female movie cashier is mirrored by Handke's use of direct, sometimes fractured prose that conveys "at its best a seamless blend of lyricism and horror seen in the runes of a disintegrating world" (Boston Sunday Globe).
