On each day of the week that follows, Don Juan describes the adventures he experienced on that same day a week earlier. The adventures are erotic, but Handke's Don Juan is more pursued than pursuer. What makes his accounts riveting are the remarkable evocations of places and people, and the nature of his narration. \u003ci\u003eDon Juan: His Own Version\u003c\/i\u003e is, above all, a book about storytelling and its ability to burst the ordinary boundaries of time and space. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this brief and wry volume, Peter Handke conjures images and depicts the subtleties of human interaction with an unforgettable vividness.
