Synopsis
In these two remarkable plays, here translated into English for the first time, the renowned Austrian playwright Peter Handke inquires into the boundaries and life-affirming qualities of language. In Voyage, Handke`s characters search not for the right answers but for the right questions, and in The Hour, 400 characters in a city square speak not a word.

From the Back Cover
This book presents two plays, both of which are translated into English for the first time. In Voyage to the Sonorous Land, or The Art of Asking, a cockeyed optimist and a spoilsport lead a group of characters to the hinterland of their imaginations, where they search not for the right answers but for the questions. The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other takes place in a city square where more than four hundred characters pass by one another without speaking a single word.
