The Innerworld of the Outerworld of the Innerworld
Peter Handke
What the texts of this volume share is that they use a grammatical model and realise this model in sentences formulated according to the model. Each of the sentences is an example, a play with sentences. Since every sentence is an example of the model, each text consists of an arrangement of syntactically similar sentences that may, taken individually, be descriptions, but that illustrate the model in their sequence and thereby describe while simultaneously showing the description as an example of a pre-described linguistic structure, a sentence: Each sentence has a story. As a result, the sentence-by-sentence description of the outerworld constitutes simultaneous a description of the innerworld, the consciousness of the author, and vice versa and vice versa.
