Peter Handke was born in Griffen, Austria, in 1942. His many novels include The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, A Sorrow Beyond Dreams, My Year in the No-Man's-Bay, and Crossing the Sierra de Gredos, all published by FSG. Handke's dramatic works include Kaspar and the screenplay for Wim Wenders's Wings of Desire. Handke is the recipient of many major literary awards, including the Georg B?hner, Franz Kafka, and Thomas Mann Prizes and the International Ibsen Award. In 2019, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience."

Krishna Winston, now retired from teaching German literature and environmental studies at Wesleyan University, has been translating the work of Peter Handke since 1993. She has translated the work of many other authors, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, G?ter Grass, Christoph Hein, and Werner Herzog.

Ralph Manheim (1907-1992) was an American translator of German and French literature. He translated the work of many notable authors, including Bertolt Brecht, Louis-Ferdinand C駘ine, G?ter Grass, Hermann Hesse, and Peter Handke. The PEN/Ralph Manheim Award for Translation, inaugurated in his name, is a major lifetime achievement award in the field of translation.
