WAITING FOR HANDKE

Peter Handke received the Nobel Prize for Literature in October 2019 in Stockholm. Having heard about it, Srdjan Petrović – a winemaker from the Serbian village of Velika Hoča in Kosovo decided to place a commemorative plaque with an embossed portrait of Handke in his wine shop, that the famous writer had visited on a number of occasions. But is the winemaker aware that Handke’s controversial attitude and opinions might prevent him from attending the plaque unveiling ceremony?
