Handke's style is usually described as?

  • Ultraobjective, Deadpan

  • Flowery, Exaggerated

  • Senseless, Irrelevant

  • Hyperactive, Dramatic

Answer

Handke's style is usually described as ultraobjective, deadpan, and dry, as if he is writing about events that are happening in a world where emotions and subjective experience are not relevant. His language is spare and he does not use metaphors or similes, and he often uses repetition to create a sense of unease.
