«Der kurze Brief zum langen Abschied» is the novel by Peter Handke, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (194 pages, in German).
A young Austrian travels across the United States fleeing his wife Judith and, at the same time, searching for her. He crosses paths with Claire, with her brother and with the filmmaker John Ford, and attends a conversation about theatre and reality after a performance of Don Carlos. His melancholy contrasts with the country's pace and way of life.
The novel, originally published in 1972, is part of the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch collection.
Peter Handke is an Austrian novelist, playwright, translator, poet, film director, and screenwriter. He was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience." Handke is considered to be one of the most influential and original German-language writers in the second half of the 20th century.
