Repetition, Peter Handke's novel about a young Austrian's trip to Slovenia to find traces of his lost brother, is a remarkable exploration of the ways our languages structure experience. Radaković's and Abbott's Repetitions is about language as well. Structured as a travel narrative, the book pits the Serbo-Croatian perspective of a man who grew up in Communist Yugoslavia against the English perspective of a man who grew up Mormon in the American West. The two authors are both foreigners in this story, for they must communicate in the only language they have in common, German.They follow Handke's narrator into Slovenia and then visit Handke's own formative landscapes in Austria. The possibility of narration in two voices, complicated by the third voice that is Peter Handke's own narrator, is the question that guides the traveling and the reading and the writing.
