"The Cheap-Eaters" by Peter Handke is a novella that explores the lives of two characters, a man and a woman, who share a deep connection despite the discontent and dissatisfaction that permeate their existence. The title refers to the characters' habits of eating cheaply, which acts as a metaphor for their broader approach to life—making do with what is available while being acutely aware of the limitations and compromises they face. The novel's themes focus on alienation, the struggle for authenticity in a world full of societal expectations, and the tension between personal desires and the constraints of everyday life. Handke's minimalist prose and existential exploration make The Cheap-Eaters a reflection on human need, choice, and the complex nature of human relationships.
