Summary

Peter Handke: The Fruit Thief

The book, which Peter Handke himself defined as "the last epic", begins with a bee stinging the narrator's leg. For him, this is a sign that he must go on a journey. It's time for him to leave No Man's Bay, a house near Paris, and head to the almost uninhabited region of Picardy in search of a fruit thief. The girl - an elusive figure, half-woman, half-phantasm - went there with a specific intention: to find her mother. What follows is a vivid but dreamlike exploration of topography, both physical and mental space, that follows a fruit thief's journey across the borderlands of France. Each chance encounter - with a man running through the bushes in search of his lost cat, with a pizza delivery man who leaves his scooter to become her companion for a day - reveals a different side of the heroine in the manner of a cubist portrait. The fruit thief's journey and the narrator's eventually overlap, merge and mirror in a series of adventures, encounters with people and animals, shocks due to contact with untouched nature, and everything culminates in a great celebration.

In prose of unsurpassed precision, Handke elevates everyday life to epic proportions, celebrating wandering that is an end in itself, all those detours that bring unexpected views and gifts, like fruit stolen from other people's gardens.
