  Richard Taylor: I wonder if he is related to the great German playwright and writer Peter Handke? Probably not I suppose.

Good approach here to the Taimanov.

May-26-10  whiteshark: Wiki-Bio in German: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floria...

<RT> fyg, Peter Handke is Austrian Citizen.

"In 1996 his travelogue <A Journey to the Rivers: Justice for Serbia> created considerable controversy, as Handke portrayed Serbia among the victims of the Balkan War. In the same essay, Handke also frontally attacked Western media for misrepresenting the causes and consequences of the war. This controversy still rages. Former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milošević asked that Handke be summoned as witness for the defence before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, but the writer declined. He did, however, visit the tribunal as a spectator, and later published his observations in Die Tablas von Daimiel (The Tablas of Daimiel)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_...
