We: On Friendship - Paperback

by Scott Abbott (Author), Zarko Radakovic (Author)

"We" documents and performs a friendship begun in 1984, a friendship that deepened when the authors crossed the Austrian-Yugoslav border to follow a character in Peter Handke's "Repetition" for their own book, "Repetitions". The friendship matured as they traveled up the war-troubled Drina River valley with Handke and then drove through southwestern American landscapes for their book "Vampires & A Reasonable Dictionary". The friendship is colored by relationships with Marina Abramovic, Era, Julije Knifer, Nina Pops, Alex Caldiero, Sam Rushforth, and--above all--Peter Handke, who was 'the hero of our books, ' they write, 'and the author of works we have translated and that have translated us.'
