Description
Bringing together Thomas Bernhard's second and third books of poetry, this collection contains short, untitled lyrics presenting his early explorations of themes that would continue to preoccupy him in his novels, plays, and other writings - especially his intense ambivalence toward the land and people of Austria and their then-recent Nazi past.
Author Biography
Thomas Bernhard wrote the novels "Gargoyles" and "Woodcutters" and the play "Heldenplatz". James Reidel is a poet, translator, and scholar.
Reviews"For all their acrid elegance, [these poems] are compelling because Thomas Bernhard wrote them... [T]hey ... show how deeply Bernhard, the caustic besmircher of the native nest, was rooted in the soil of his homeland. Every line suggests that his love of it was almost equal to his loathing."--Eric Ormsby, New York Sun
