The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick is a novel by the acclaimed Austrian writer Peter Handke, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2019. The story follows Bloch, a former soccer goalkeeper, whose fragmented perception of the world leads him to isolation and, ultimately, to crime. With an original style and an unwavering commitment to literature, Handke explores the difficulties in human communication and the consequences of loneliness in this work that catapulted him to fame in 1970.
Peter Handke is an Austrian novelist, playwright, translator, poet, film director, and screenwriter.

Handke is considered to be one of the most influential and original German-language writers in the second half of the 20th century.
