Plotless story set in mountain with one unnamed narrator and one depressed painter, and theirs thoughts about meaning of the life. Boring? Absolutely not!

batsy I keep coming back to reread this quote. Must get around to Bernhard sooner rather than later! 7y
BarbaraBB Oh Bernhard... love his prose 7y
Simona @batsy As @BarbaraBB wrote - his prose is 👌 I read the Slovenian translation with an excellent preface, which put his life and works in an understandable context ... because Bernhard was a misogynistic ... 7y

The story is set in the real village, Weng in Austria. The Mayor, of course, protested ... but the story remained unchanged.

A very well deserved quiet afternoon with a book. The main character in this book, painter Strauch, is introvert ... so I'm 'doing' some #introverting time with him.
