The first of Peter Handke's novels to be published in English, 'The Goalies Anxiety at the Penalty Kick 'is a true modern classic that 'portrays the breakdown of a murderer in ways that recall Camus's 'The Stranger'' (Richard Locke, 'The New York Times). 'The self-destruction of a soccer goalie turned construction worker who wanders aimlessly around a stifling Austrian border town after pursuing and then murdering, almost unthinkingly, a female movie cashier is mirrored by his use of direct, sometimes fractured prose that conveys 'at its best a seamless blend of lyricism and horror seen in the runes of a disintegrating world' (Bill Marx, 'Boston Sunday Globe).
