His relationship with Serbia and Slobodan Miloševic not only brought Handke a lot of criticism, they also led to a lot of undifferentiated defamation. In Paris, one of his plays was removed from the repertoire, the city of Düssendorf denied him the Heinrich-Heine-Prize 2006, which he had initially been awarded – high time, therefore, to get to know his perspective.

His relationship with Serbia and Slobodan Miloševic not only brought Handke a lot of criticism, they also led to a lot of undifferentiated defamation. In Paris, one of his plays was removed from the repertoire, the city of Düssendorf denied him the Heinrich-Heine-Prize 2006, which he had initially been awarded – high time, therefore, to get to know his perspective. In The Tablas de Daimiel, Peter Handke talks about why and in what way he became a witness of the wars in the Balkan. In this book, he makes his position on the murderous conflicts, their conditions and consequences, unambiguously clear.
