![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This was my introduction to Bernhard, and what a powerful introduction it was. I became obsessed with his obsessive, discursive writing style, the way his sentences loop back on themselves to describe something several different ways. You have to give yourself to it and stop expecting the usual plot or character mechanics of most conventional fiction, but once you do, it's an exhilarating ride. What he does here is hard to explain, alongside his everything-austrian loathing, he includes healthful doses of the protagonist's self-loathing. The novel seems more fleshed, and it is amazing that on his last book he was still artistically peaking. Note: 1986, the year of publication, Kurt Waldheim, a nazi, became president of Austria. The book is a monologue rant which goes on and on, only occasionally presenting an insight that caught my attention. He primarily rails against Austrian politics, the Catholic Church, his family, and then himself. He does reveal the machinations of his psychology and some philosophy. There is nobody I have ever read who speaks to me more clearly and like-minded than Thomas Bernhard does. It is so life-affirming to have the good fortune of reading a writer like this. He is an amazing talent and continues on as strongly as ever for anyone interested in examining his complete works. I wrote a longer, more detailed review that you can read here: http://hub.me/aeBxG sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The last work of fiction by one of the twentieth century's greatest artists, "Extinction "is widely considered Thomas Bernhard's magnum opus. Franz-Josef Murau--the intellectual black sheep of a powerful Austrian land-owning family--lives in Rome in self-imposed exile, surrounded by a coterie of artistic and intellectual friends. On returning from his sister's wedding on the family estate of Wolfsegg, having resolved never to go home again, Murau receives a telegram informing him of the death of his parents and brother in a car crash. Not only must he now go back, he must do so as the master of Wolfsegg. And he must decide its fate. Written in the seamless, mesmerizing style for which Bernhard wasfamous, "Extinction" is the ultimate proof of his extraordinary literary genius. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
