      ReviewBiography and memoir
      A Sorrow Beyond Dreams by Peter Handke — memoir, suffering and politics

      Can literary merit steer clear of the ideology of the controversial Nobel winner?

      Women from Srebrenica and Bosnian members of associations of survivors of the war in Bosnia (1992 - 1995), hold placards depicting Austrian writter Peter Handke as they take part in a demonstration in front of the Swedish Embassy in Sarajevo, on November 5, 2019, to protest against Nobel literature prize laureate Handke, whom they accuse of being a Serb apologist during the 1990s wars. - Demonstrators hold photos of the writer while he was on a personal visit to their hometown of Srebrenica, where some 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were slaughtered by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995. The photo shows the novelist standing in front of a sign at the entrance of the town allegedly in 1996, according to the women protesting. The Swedish academy's pick last month trigged outrage in the Balkans and beyond because of Handke's admiration for late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic.
