Summary: The Poetry of A Sentence That Doesn't Relent
Comment: Would best be described as relentless, constant lashing at provinciality and narrow-mindedness of a Central-European shop-keeping mentality. Bernhard does it with his rarefied, unique block-monologues told in one breath filled with a staggering emotion. Very brilliantly translated as to conform to the natural flow of the German original which, unlike English, thrives on endless sentences with an infinite number of repetitions and dependent clauses.

Summary: Hey you:
Comment: If you're not sure whether you want to buy this book or not, why don't you get down to your local library or mega-bookshop and take a look-see for yourself, instead of reading the blather of dunderheads like those whose reviews disgrace the rest of this page?

Summary: The Loser
Comment: Even my friend Paul whom I work with, whom has won piano competitions, and played all over the town,including The Whitney, and knew what it was like to be a virtuoso, and whom after 42 years of playing the piano still has a desire to play, even though now he sells pianos more than he plays, and I who also sell pianos, and know them very, very well, though can't play them as well as Paul, but knows just as well what makes them good, and also what makes a good book, believes this book to be a new book. And what I mean by a new book is that this book has never before been written, except for maybe other books written by the author, but with different characters. That this book is not a sad book, even though it may seem as such, just as my friend Paul is not a sad man even though he may seem as such, and I, who may be the most sad of all, although one may think me to be the least sad when compared to my freind Paul, or even this book, I thought.
