Once Again for Thucydides by Peter Handke

Once Again for Thucydides is a collection of seventeen micro-epics written on trips around the world. In each brief journal entry, Handke concentrates on small things he observes, trying to capture their essence, their simple, unadorned validity. What results is a work or remarkable precision, in which he uncovers the general appearance of random objects and discovers their inner working and mystery.
"Handke delights in sublime detail…these vignettes have the power of poetry." -- The New York Times
