Description

Book Synopsis
This volume contains Handke's work from the 1970s. It includes "Kaspar", in which the playwright explores the power of language as a means of oppression - a means of creating artificial uniformity by teaching people to comprehend the world only in terms of the speech patterns they are given.

Trade Review
Handke's play is a downright attack on the way language is used by a corrupt society to depersonalise the individual. * Michael Billington, The Guardian (on Kaspar) *
Handke's most sustained study in social indoctrination . . . there could be no better introduction to Handke. * The Times (on Kaspar) *
