The Moravian Night (German: Die morawische Nacht) is a 2008 novel by the Austrian writer Peter Handke.
It tells the story of a retired writer who talks about a recent journey and the state of Europe in front of a small crowd on his houseboat, while anchored outside the village Porodin on the river Morava in Serbia.
Publishers Weekly wrote: "In this story where memory and reality battle, Handke (The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick) once again showcases his valuable insight and imagination.
"[1] Kirkus Reviews wrote: "A sad story—perhaps, but one in which fantasy and history dance nimbly.
[6] The Moravian Night was longlisted for the 2008 German Book Prize, although the nomination was rejected by Handke, according to himself out of respect for the younger writers on the list.
