copy of Complete Identification Guide to the Wurlitzer Jukebox

In the evocative context of a trip to lesser-known Spain, Handke puts his hand to a long-planned short essay: to clarify the meaning that the jukebox, an object now unobtainable today, had in the different phases of its existence. Between the landscapes glimpsed while traveling on a bus and the notes of the Rolling Stones, the differences between the architecture of the Wurlitzer and that of the Seeburg (the two great jukebox manufacturers) and the charm of the decrepit open-air bars, the research around at the jukebox evokes literary associations and autobiographical resonances that settle into a text that takes on the meaning of an engaging reflection on time and history.
