Understanding Thomas Bernhard by Stephen D. Dowden
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 238 KB
Overview: Professor Dowden’s Understanding Thomas Bernhard is the first book-length study in English to treat Bernhard’s literary career in its entirety. Not a long career, unfortunately, but what a fruitful one it was, bringing forth fifteen novels and long narratives, eighteen plays, six autobiographical works, and several volumes of lyric poetry. Bernhard was notoriously difficult, notoriously pessimistic, well known for his attacks on revered cultural monuments, such as the venerable Nobel Prize winner Elias Canetti, and political figures, such as Austrian chancellor Bruno Kreisky. But in many ways his works address the fortunes of postwar Austria, a tiny country that has played a supremely important role in the history of twentieth-century European culture. Dowden’s clear, intelligent book provides access to a daunting literary oeuvre in which the aesthetic and literary currents of the postwar period are interestingly and significantly reflected.
