Peter Handke in America: Fatima Naqvi, Christoph Bartmann, Klaus Kastberger and Andrea Koehler Discussing Handke's Life-long Fascination with America

A discussion with Fatima Naqvi (Rutgers University), Andrea Koehler (correspondent of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung), Christoph Bartmann (Goethe Institut NYC), and Klaus Kastberger (University of Vienna). Peter Handke in America is an important theme for understanding the writer’s work. Because of his life-long fascination with America, Handke was among the first German-speaking writers of his generation to present a positive image of the United States against the anti-imperialist aversions of the European 1968-movement.
