Subscribers to this page may have heard me talking about the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard.
Here I give an overview of his life and work, why it matters to me, and why you should read him.
I rank my favourite of his works, which writers he can be compared to, and why most critics get his influences wrong.
I also break down how he developed his unique style, and discuss why he didn’t believe in translations.
I might start a separate literature page of some sort in case people don’t want this stuff here, but for now I thought I may as well post it for those interested.
Best,
Nick
