Roithamer has committed suicide having been driven to madness by his own frightening powers of pure thought. This work talks about the gradual breakdown of a genius ceaselessly compelled to correct and refine his perceptions until the only logical conclusion of the negation of his own soul.

Thomas Bernhard is -one of the masters of contemporary European fiction- (George Steiner); -one of the century's most gifted writers- (Newsday); -a virtuoso of rancor and rage- (Bookforum). And although he is favorably compared with Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, and Robert Musil, it is only in recent years that he has gained a devoted cult following in America.
A powerful, compact novella, Walking provides a perfect introduction to the absurd, dark, and uncommonly comic world of Bernhard, showing a preoccupation with themes--illness and madness, isolation, tragic...

Reissued with stunning artwork by Leanne Shapton and a new afterword by Ben Lerner, Wittgenstein's Nephew is a memento mori of restless genius. It is 1967.

Superbly distinctive and provocative.' - New York TimesAn unnamed writer arrives at an 'artistic dinner' hosted by a composer and his society wife: a couple he once admired, but has now come to detest. When the star actor finally arrives, he ushers in an explosive end to the evening that is impossible to see coming.

Two out of the three novellas here have never before been published in English and they contain all the touchstones of Bernhard's work - illness and madness, isolation, tragic friendships, and dark humour.
