Peter Handke’s publisher, Suhrkamp, is being criticized for its 24-page memo on the writer’s denial of the Serb genocide of Muslims in Bosnia.

Kraguevac, SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO: (FILES) - An undated file photo shows Austrian writer and dramatist Peter Handke at the "Zastava" factory destroyed by NATO air strikes in Kraguevac. The author, accused of Serbian nationalist sympathies, on 08 June 2006 turned down a German literature prize before politicians could revoke it. Handke said in a letter to the mayor of Duesseldorf he would not be accepting the west German city's Heinrich Heine prize to save everybody involved further embarrassment.
