"This story begins on one of those midsummer days when, for the first time in a year, you walk barefoot through the grass and are stung by a bee." This is the sign for the hero that it's time to set out on a quest. He searches for a woman he calls the Fruit Thief. Following her, he—and therefore we—set out for Vexin. By train, we race through Paris, along rivers and plains, along the roadsides, meeting people both random and not, learning new things, and discovering many sides of the protagonist. Handke has a knack for transforming any ordinary action, word, thought, or observation into a truly grand epic. "The Fruit Thief" is another inimitable masterpiece of his contemplative genius.
