La ladrona de fruta

The latest and highly anticipated novel of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature Alexia, whom everyone calls "the fruit thief", is going to undertake an "Expedition-of-a-single-woman" through French mischief in search of her mother. Before leaving, his father gives him some advice on the way. But the story does not start with Alexia, but with the narrator, who leaves one day in August from the "nobody's bay": why? To observe "the fruit thief"? To accompany her in silence ? No: to attest to your experiences and adventures on your initiatory journey. "The Fruit Thief" is Peter Handke in its purest form; the "Last Epic" by his own definition.
