Thomas Bernhard (1931–1989), a literary figure of international acclaim and arguably Austria’s greatest post–World War II writer, became the first of his generation to expose unrelentingly his country’s pathological denial of complicity in the Holocaust. Bernhard’s writings and indeed his own biography reflect Austria’s fraught efforts to define itself as a nation following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy and the trauma of World War II. Repeatedly he scandalized the nation with novels, plays, and public statements that exposed the convoluted ways Austrians were attempting to come to terms with their Nazi past—or defiantly avoiding doing so. This book, the first comprehensive biography of Thomas Bernhard in English, examines his life and work and their intricate relationship to Austria’s geographical, political, and cultural transformations in the twentieth century. While Bernhard was the scourge of his native culture, Honegger explains, he was also a product of that same culture. Appreciation of his controversial impact on his society is possible only through an understanding of the contradictions, the shame, and the achievements that mark Austrians’ self-perception in the postwar years. Honegger shows that for Bernhard the theater was not only a profession but also a paradigm for his life, and that performance was the primary force animating his writing and self-construction. Even after his death, Bernhard’s carefully constructed biography continues to fascinate, shock, and expose the Austrian culture at large.

The epigraph to Correction, Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard's masterpiece, reads: 'A body needs at least three points of support, not in a straight line, to fix its position.' Three-Part Inventions finds in this simple geometrical axiom a surprisingly complex key to an understanding of Bernhard's major novels. It argues that each of them, although firmly anchored in Austrian history, emerges from an archetypal story involving a trio of figures: a protagonist who, having been deprived of a desired object by a more powerful adversary, displaces his frustration upon a scapegoat who suffers in his place. It further shows that Bernhard transforms this destructive protagonist-adversary-scapegoat pattern into a creative trio formed by the author himself, the artistic precursors who serve as his models, and the readers who receive the finished work. This study is intended to enrich for English-language readers the unforgettable experience of reading the author whom Italo Calvino once called 'the greatest writer in the world.'

Neuware - Polarisierender Skandalautor, Klassiker der Weltliteratur, weltberühmter Dramatiker, österreichisches Phänomen: All das und noch viel mehr war Thomas Bernhard, dessen umfassende Biografie nun vorliegt. Der Thomas Bernhard-Experte Manfred Mittermayer fasst Leben und Werk des Autors in eine große Erzählung, die von Bernhards 'Herkunftskomplex' - der Familie seines Großvaters Johannes Freumbichler- bis zu seinem frühen Tod nach jahrelanger Krankheit reicht. Differenziert zeichnet Mittermayer das vielschichtige öffentliche Erscheinungsbild, aber auch die privaten Lebensstationen nach und setzt die wesentlichen Prosawerke und Theaterstücke in Bezug zu einem Lebensweg, der untrennbar mit der Nachkriegsgeschichte verbunden ist.

In Narratives Unsettled, Samuel Frederick proposes a new conception of narrativity that can accommodate unwieldy forms of digression. By way of close readings of three German-language writers from different historical periods, Frederick demonstrates that digression, far from being a non- or anti-narrative interruption, contributes to what makes these writers' works fundamentally narrative. In the process, the author counters several foundational assumptions of classical narratology, including the conviction--rooted in Aristotle--that narrative without plot is logically impossible, and that anything deviating from narrative's teleological imperative is either destructive or insignificant. Frederick's readings of the narrative experiments, utopian moments, and obsessions with the trivial in works by Walser, Bernhard, and Stifter point to new ways of approaching the ostensibly antinarrative as a productive element of narrativity. As a work that explores the often neglected crossroads of German studies and postclassical narratology, Narratives Unsettled will be of great interest to scholars in both of these fields, as well as to those working on literature and theory in general.

Over the course of three days in 1970, June 5, 6, and 7, simply sitting on a white bench in a Hamburg park, Thomas Bernhard delivered a powerful monologue for Three Days (Drei Tage), filmmaker Ferry Radax’s commanding film portrait of the great Austrian writer. Radax interwove the monologue with a variety of metaphorically resonant visual techniques blacking out the screen to total darkness, suggestive of the closing of the observing eye; cuts to scenes of cameramen, lighting and recording equipment; extreme camera distance and extreme closeup. Bernhard had not yet written his autobiographical work Gathering Evidence, published originally in five separate volumes between 1975 and 1982, and his childhood remembrances were a revelation. This publication of Bernhard’s monologue and stills from Radax’s artful film allows this unique portrait of Bernhard to be savored in book form.

Neuware -Im Dezember 1945 schrieb Thomas Mann jenen berühmten Brief an Theodor W. Adorno über das Prinzip der Montage in seinem Roman Doktor Faustus, verbunden mit der Einladung, gemeinsam »darüber nachzudenken, wie das Werk - ich meine Leverkühns Werk - ungefähr ins Werk zu setzen wäre«. Die enge Zusammenarbeit an den Spätwerken Adrian Leverkühns - Adorno verfaßte detaillierte Entwürfe, die im Anhang des Bandes abgedruckt sind - wurde zur Grundlage dieser Korrespondenz, die in einer sehr ungewöhnlichen Begegnung von Tradition und Moderne entstand und in diesem Spannungsfeld bis zum Tode des Dichters andauerte. - Thomas Mann schrieb Adorno über die »faszinierende Lektüre« der Minima Moralia und kommentierte ausführlich den Versuch über Wagner, ein Buch, das er lesen wollte, »wie jemand in der Apokalypse ein Buch ißt, das ihm 'süß wie Honig schmeckt'«. Adorno begleitete die letzten Werke Thomas Manns, den Erwählten, Die Betrogene und die Wiederaufnahme des Felix Krull, mit eingehenden Kommentaren und nicht selten mit begeistertem Zuspruch. Selbst sehr private Fragen von entscheidender persönlicher Bedeutung, wie die mit großer Aufrichtigkeit geführte Diskussion um die Rückkehr aus der Emigration, bleiben im Briefwechsel nicht ausgespart. 179 pp. Deutsch

Thomas Bernhard is one of the greatest twentieth-century writers in the German language. Extinction, his last novel, takes the form of the autobiographical testimony of Franz-Josef Murau. The intellectual black sheep of a powerful Austrian land-owning family, Murau lives in Rome in self-exile. Obsessed and angry with his identity as an Austrian, he resolves never to return to the family estate of Wolfsegg. But when news comes of his parents' deaths, he finds himself master of Wolfsegg and must decide its fate.Written in Bernhard's seamless style, Extinction is the ultimate proof of his extraordinary literary genius."Strangely gripping. The glue that holds his remarkable novel together is the unique virtuosity of his imaginative prose, a highly original kind of writing that resembles musical patterns of theme, variations and recapitulation."—Steve Dowden, Washington Times"With a breathtaking sustained intensity . . . Bernhard assaults through the voice of Murau the modern world as exemplified by his birthplace, Austria."—Thomas McGonigle, Chicago Tribune Books"Perfectly balanced and continually interesting. . . . The particular fineness of Extinction lies in its depiction of a consciousness in action."—Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World"Bernhard's distinctive style . . . is caught with quite remarkable fidelity in David McLintock's excellent translation . . . . The work of a master."—W.E. Yates, New York Times Book Review"When Thomas Bernhard died, Austria lost one of its bravest authors . . . . David McLintock's translation . . . is exquisite. It presents an English far richer than most English language books . . . . Fresh, disturbed and punchy."—Benjamin Weissman, Los Angeles Times
