Thomas Bernhard

 

Literature

All about Thomas Bernhard, one of my favourite authors. If you don’t know Bernhard and are curious: Try to imagine Philip Roth’s “Portnoy’s Complaints” minus the sex plus more generalized discussions (and rants) about people and human interactions plus an immense hatred of all things Austrian. Good starting point to read: “Woodcutters” (another translation is called “Cutting Timber: An Irritation”). Another fabulous book (albeit a tough one to read): “The Lime Works”.
