the last book I ever read (The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, excerpt six)

from The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick by Peter Handke:

Bloch was quite drunk. Everything seemed to be out of his reach. He was so far away from what happened around him that he himself no longer appeared in what he saw and heard. “Like aerial photographs,” he thought while looking at the antlers and horns on the wall. The noises seemed to him like static, like the coughing and clearing of throats during radio broadcasts of church services.
