Description
Repetition by Peter Handke tells the story of Filip Kobal's search for his missing brother Gregor. All he has to guide him is two books: a school copy book and a dictionary with certain words marked.
As Filip travels through Slovenia, he discovers that language can be both transformative and unsettling. This moving novel explores what it means to be alive and to navigate the world as an outsider.
Translated by Ralph Manheim, Repetition is a powerful evocation of life's complexities.
