LRB BOOKSHOPS AUTHOR OF THE MONTH ONE OF THE GUARDIANS BEST BOOKS OF 2019WITH A NEW AFTERWORD BY BEN LERNER, AUTHOR OF THE TOPEKA SCHOOLIf you havent read Bernhard, you will not know of the most radical advance in fiction since Joyce ... My advice dive in. Lucy EllmannI absolutely love Bernhard he is one of the darkest and funniest writers ... A must read for everybody. Karl Ove KnausgaardIt is 1967. Two men lie bedridden in separate wings of a Viennese hospital. The narrator, Thomas Bernhard, is stricken with a lung ailment his friend Paul, nephew of Ludwig Wittgenstein, is suffering from one of his periodic bouts of madness. As their friendship quickens, these two eccentric men discover in each other an antidote to their feelings of despair on the unexpected strength of what they share a spiritual symmetry forged by their love of music, black humour, disgust for bourgeois Vienna, and fear of mortality. A restless blend of fiction and memoir, Wittgensteins Nephew is not only a haunting meditation on the artists struggle to maintain a foothold on reality, but an impassioned eulogy to a reallife friendship newly illuminated by Ben Lerners afterword.
