Fiercely observed, often hilarious, and “reminiscent of Ibsen and Strindberg” (The New York Times Book Review), this exquisitely controversial novel was initially banned in its author’s homeland.
A searing portrayal of Vienna’s bourgeoisie, it begins with the arrival of an unnamed writer at an ‘artistic dinner’ hosted by a composer and his society wife-a couple he once admired and has come to loathe. The guest of honor, a distinguished actor from the Burgtheater, is late. As the other guests wait impatiently, they are seen through the critical eye of the writer, who narrates a silent but frenzied tirade against these former friends, most of whom have been brought together by Joana, a woman they buried earlier that day. Reflections on Joana’s life and suicide are mixed with these denunciations until the famous actor arrives, bringing an explosive end to the evening that even the writer could not have seen coming.

Many Thanks!

Thin of the most extreme caricature of a Professor of Literature you have ever seen:- vague, socially awkward, unaware of the world outside his ivory towers; probably basically a decent sort, but a decent sort living in a permanently privileged parallel universe. (Anthony Bate as Bernard Crowther would be a good place to start). That was David McLintock as I knew him (though I met him mainly in his professional capacity, perhaps he was different on his days off).
I wondered what he would do when he retired; it seemed difficult to imagine him in real life.
But then he began to translate Thomas Bernhard: a novelist every bit as preposterous as himself.
This is a hilarious translation of a hilarious novel; I am not entirely convinced that is what either the translator or the original author intended.
But you turn the handle the way it goes, not the way it was supposed to.
