Marie Colbin was Handke's lover for many years in the 80s in Berlin. Herwig interviewed her and DTV even used some of her photos in his book. She is a halfway famous and still attractive Austrian actress. My guess is that Herwig';s lawyers set the sum, since I think this was a publicity stunt that went wrong - except for my using it to critique Herwig and his shoddy book.<br />Do you need a pair of reading glasses? xx m.rSUMMA POLITICOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214697505465094305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753460.post-19127289721105001382011-04-18T22:57:49.587-07:002011-04-18T22:57:49.587-07:00OK, thanks. still don't understand why you wan...OK, thanks. still don't understand why you want to sue them... and what's this Prof. Colbin got to do with it...
