The narrative "Slow Homecoming" ends as the plane prepares to land on the continent. The first sentence of the "Teaching of Sainte-Victoire" reads: "Having returned to Europe, I needed daily writing and read many things anew." From Sorger, the "hero" of the Slow Homecoming, the author has become someone who questions the right to write. Not in the form of a treatise, but as a narrative of wanderings in Provence - from the confrontations with Mont Sainte-Victoire and its representations, "realizations," in Cézanne's paintings, to Mont Valérien in Paris or "on" the Havelberg in Berlin and - finally - in the Morzger Forest near Salzburg. The second encounter with Sainte-Victoire and Cézanne, "the teacher of humanity of our time," allows Handke to write a poetics, his poetics, as the "Teaching" of Sainte-Victoire. The "right.".
