Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. First Collier Books Edition 1989, 1st printing. 246pp. Translated by Ralph Manheim. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "In the summer of 1960, Filip Kobal leaves his home in search of his missing brother, Gregor. Not quite twenty, he is armed only with two of his brother's books: a copybook and a dictionary in which Gregor has, revealingly, marked certain words. Filip's investigation of language--of the laws of naming objects, and of the roots of alienation in the discrepancy between objects' names and our experience of them--becomes, finally, an investigation of himself and the world around him." [publisher copy] "Remarkable . . . has the magic of a fairy tale."--The Philadelphia Inquirer. "The Romantic turn of a writer whose own rangy trip through literature has rarely been less than fascinating . . . Handke can write with an intensity that makes many of his contemporaries look anemic by comparison."--The Village Voice Literary Supplement. "REPETITION is a complex, thoughtful, and poignant book. . . It is also an expansive and joyous meditation on storytelling itself."--The Christian Science Monitor. "A beautiful and evocative novel . . . some of the most glorious lyrical prose to be found anywhere in recent years . . . In lyric power, in execution and, best of all, in use of the bewitching fabric of memory, Handke has written a work unexcelled in years."--Newark Star-Ledger. Fine & pristine paperback w/cover image of protagonist in reversed pond-reflection under moonlight, w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
