Bernhard bust

Sculptor Lucie Geffré has produced a very impressive and, one has to say, uncanny bust of our favourite Austrian novelist. It even reproduces his bad skin!

    Thank you, Mr Mitchelmore, for this wonderful picture!

    I wonder which book by Thomas Bernhard I should start with.

    I see you don't have other 'illustrations', I am enjoying working my way through all your past articles while I have a look! If I make a pertinent comment on an old post I wonder if it will come up somewhere on your computer?

  2. Yes, it will deborah. I moderate comments to prevent spam.

    I'd start with "Concrete" or "The Loser".

    Thanks, I'll try and find "Concrete".

    There are lots of interesting words connected with Bernhard if one googles his name, I liked :
    the irascible Austrian author ...
