Peter Handke, a giant of Austrian literature, has produced decades of fiction, poetry, and drama informed by some of the most tumultuous events in modern history. But even as these events shaped his work, the presence of his mother - a woman whose life spanned the Weimar Republic, both world wars, and the postwar consumer economy - loomed even larger. In 'Storm Still', he returns to the land of his birth, the Austrian province of Carinthia. There on the Jaunfeld, the plain at the centre of Austria's Slovenian settlement, the dead and the living of a family meet and talk. Composed as a series of monologues, 'Storm Still' chronicles both the battle of the Slovene minority against Nazism and their love of the land.
