Handke in a sentence

Bill Handke started the petition to control Indian mynas.

Another member of the committee, Rebecka Karde, that while Handke had written some “hair-raising things,” she could not find a “dogmatic attitude” in his work.

At the news conference in Stockholm on Friday, Handke singled out a letter from The New York Times requesting an interview for this article; he declined the request, saying he did not want to answer “empty and ignorant” questions.

Austrian author Peter Handke is the winner of Nobel in literature this year and the postponed award for 2018 went to Polish author Olga Tokarczuk.

Austrian author Peter Handke visits the Serb Orthodox church of Sveti Stefan in the village of Velika Hoca, a Serb enclave in Kosovo, on April 7, 2007.

Austria's Peter Handke won the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature, and the postponed 2018 award went to Polish author Olga Tokarczuk, the Swedish Academy said on Thursday.

Handke accepted the 9-million-kronor ($948,000) award from King Carl XVI Gustaf at a ceremony in Stockholm with the winners of other Nobels except for the peace prize, which was presented in Oslo.

Handke also called for the Nobel to be abolished in 2014, saying it was a “false canonisation” of literature.

Handke has been a staunch supporter of the Serbs and has disputed that the massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in the town of Srebrenica was genocide.

Handke has written novels like A Sorrow Beyond Dreams, Short Letter, Long Farewell.

Handke repeats a version of that in “Summer Addendum,” writing that he had asked his hosts why the mosques were gone and was told that weapons and ammunition had been stored in them.

Handke was recognised for a body of work which includes novels and drama 'that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience'.

In a 1996 essay, "Justice for Serbia," Handke accused Western news media of depicting Serbs as aggressors in the wars that led to the breakup of Yugoslavia.

I was one of those statement collectors, and I suppose that’s why I believe it’s appropriate to reject the pseudo-facts behind Handke’s deceptions.

Olga Tokarczuk and Peter Handke have been jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

On Friday, Handke dismissed questions about his support for Milosevic.

Peter Handke addresses the media following the announcement of his award.

The literature prizes—one for 2018 and one 2019 —were given to Poland's Olga Tokarczuk and Austria's Peter Handke, after no prize was awarded last year due to sex-abuse allegations that rocked the Swedish Academy.

The politics of Handke’s win stand out in especially sharp contrast when he is placed next to Tokarczuk, an outspoken progressive in increasingly reactionary Poland.

The Swedish Academy's pick for the 2019 prize has reopened old wounds in the Balkans, where many see Handke as an apologist for Serb atrocities during Yugoslavia's bloody collapse.
