Jacket design by Janet Halverson. keywords: Literature Translated Germany Austria. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The first of Peter Handke's novels to be published in English, The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick is a true modern classic that 'portrays the. breakdown of a murderer in ways that recall Camus's The Stranger' (Richard Locke, The New York Times). The self-destruction of a soccer goalie turned construction worker who wanders aimlessly around a stifling Austrian border town after pursuing and then murdering, almost unthinkingly, a female movie cashier is mirrored by his use of direct, sometimes fractured prose that conveys 'at its best a seamless blend of lyricism and horror seen in the runes of a disintegrating world' (Bill Marx, Boston Sunday Globe). inventory #4400.
