The Hanging Of Peter Handke From The Orthodox Gallows

The Krauts Match the Frogs in Universal Autism

by Gilles d'Aymery

(Swans - June 5, 2006)  It was not enough. The controversy surrounding the
scrapping of Peter Handke's play from the roster of the Comédie Française in
France had not yet receded that the German guard dogs of intellectual
conformism did a tour de force, a little coup of their own, an auto-da-fé on
Handke's character. These trite MacDonaldized Middle Minds managed to
influence the body politic, cowards in gray suits, into reversing the
decision by the jury of the Heinrich Heine Prize of the city of Düsseldorf,
where Heine was born in 1797, to award the much coveted honor to Peter
Handke in December 2006, on the 150th anniversary of Heine's death.
