Requests:  0 Summary:  Peter Handke's mother was an invisible woman. Throughout her life--which spanned the Nazi era, the war, and the postwar consumer economy--she struggled to maintain appearances, only to arrive at a terrible recognition: "I'm not human any more." Not long after, she killed herself with an overdose of sleeping pills. In A Sorrow Beyond Dreams her son sits down to record what he knows, or thinks he knows, about his mother's life and death before, in his words, "the dull speechlessness--the extreme speechlessness" of grief takes hold forever. And yet the experience of speechlessness, as it marks both suffering and love, lies at the heart of Handke's brief but unforgettable elegy. This austere, scrupulous, and deeply moving book is one of the finest achievements of a great contemporary writer.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Handke Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 833.914 Handke Ha missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 833.914 Handke Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Handke Ha Lost 03/11/2020 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 833.914 Handke Ha Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 833.914 Handke Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 833.914 Handke Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 833.914 Handke Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 833.914 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
