At the behest of his surgical mentor, a young Austrian medical student poses as a law student to journey to a remote mining town in order to observe Strauch, an aging painter and brother of his mentor, without letting Strauch know his true occupation, and becomes caught up in the lives of the mad artist and a colorful assortment of local characters, in the first English edition of the author's debut novel.

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.
