Description

Thomas Bernhard used to be some of the authentic writers of the 20th century. His formal innovation ranks with Beckett and Kafka, his outrageously cantankerous voice recollects Dostoevsky, however his present for lacerating, lyrical, provocative prose is incomparably his personal.One in all Bernhard’s such a lot acclaimed novels, The Loser facilities on a fictional courting among piano virtuoso Glenn Gould and of his fellow scholars who really feel pressured to surrender their musical targets within the face of Gould’s incomparable genius. One commits suicide, even as the opposite– the obsessive, witty, and self-mocking narrator– has retreated into obscurity. Written as a monologue in a single outstanding unbroken paragraph, The Loser is a super meditation on luck, failure, genius, and popularity.
