*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2015*

chewy read, and a lot to learn - personalisaton of the characters really well done - reads in an idiosyncratic way Bernard made his own - a form of writing that is Austrian to its core.literary and valuable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    READ IT.
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014*

Possibly a life-changing book, a great introduction to a difficult and rewarding author, master.

    I don't know what I think...
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2015*

Really...I don't know...this is an extraordinarily well-written book...smart...observant...philosophical...no laughs, but not without some very sharp humor. The sentences build momentum, one after the other, then echo and fall back on themselves as it goes...like an argument.The premise is clever,  intellectually intriguing...an exploration less of character and more of an appreciation these character's IDEAS about life and each other...their failed careers...their failed friendship...the "story?"...I don't know.To my mind, somewhat reminiscent of Thomas Mann (though the writer might wince at that...esp. as Mann loved plots and flesh-and-blood as much as ideas.)I much preferred "Wittgenstein's Mistress" by David Markson...equally challenging (in a very different way)...exceptionally clever, but. it's "meta," so ya gotta work for it...( I confess, I alternated reading it with a Jo Nesbo thriller...sometimes you need a bloody page-turning "palate cleanser." ya know?I don't know...I'll eventually read one more book by Bernhard and decide...or maybe not.
