«Die morawische Nacht» is the tale by Austrian writer Peter Handke, published by Suhrkamp in hardcover (560 pages, in German).
Over one night, a retired writer gathers seven friends at his floating house, moored on the Morava River. After dinner, he recounts a long journey through Western Europe that may have been a flight, while the guests correct and expand his story. Handke draws on the tradition of nocturnal storytelling to address memory and the weight of reality.
Published in 2008, the work was nominated for the European Book Prize and longlisted for the Deutscher Buchpreis; its author received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2019.
For readers of contemporary European literature, interested in literary fiction and the work of Peter Handke.
