Summary: Beauty of language - clarity of thought
Review: These "travel" essays verge on being prose poems. Peter Handke uses close observation of the world around him to weave an image of the world within - both personal and universal. In this way he produces a remarkable study on the human condition. Add to your must read list especially if you have any fondness for M. Duras or A. Ernaux.

Summary: Beautifully written
Review: This short read (90 pages) is a wonderful collection of descriptions Handke made while visiting different cities. Each description reveals an indulgent use of visual and even auditory imagery to open up the natural world and its influence on the observer.Handke's fairy tale of an ash tree in Munich is an especially intriguing version of a classic genre.
