Left Handed Women
Left Handed Women | Peter Handke
7 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
One evening, when Marianne and her husband, Bruno, are dining out together to celebrate his return from a business trip, Marianne listens to him speak and realizes suddenly yet finally that Bruno will leave her. Whether at that moment, or in years to come, she will be deserted. And instinctively Marianne knows she must fend for herself and her young son now, before that time comes. She sends Bruno away and settles down to a life alone, at first experiencing moments of panic, restlessly wandering in rooms grown stifling. The stillness of the house wears her down, and she starts taking long walks, or visiting with her close friend, Franziska. Gradually, what began as a selfish escape from the prospects of the future becomes in fact liberation. The environment she'd always hated--a no man's land of identical houses, with all curtains drawn--recedes; her relationships with those dear to her become less threatening, less necessary; and Marianne finds a new pattern for her life and the strength to go on alone.

I really liked the writing style. And also the peculiar way that people treat each other in the story.

The woman begins a process of getting stronger and more confident in her "loneliness" and this shows also in a lot of metaphores, which I like to interpret.

All in all it is a great book for a rainy afternoon at home. It is only 130 pages long.

Trashcanman I'm left handed too! Eat left handed! But I bat right handed and throw right handed. I fold clothes left handed. And I shoot rifles right handed. And I use left handed scissors. 6y
jenniferw88 @MirrorMask @Trashcanman I'm predominantly left-handed but can be ambidextrous when needed! 6y
MirrorMask @jenniferw88 @Trashcanman Deleted my comment. What I meant to say was that I've never met a leftie that isn't somewhat ambidextrous. 6y

There is something quite alluring and elusive about this novella. I read it twice in one weekend (maybe because NJ transit was a mess and the hour trip to my friends place took 4 hours). Composed of disconnected vignettes there is not much plot. The reader is held at a distance from the action and characters, only shown brief glimpses. The fascination lies in the effort to fill in the missing pieces. #1001books
