Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) has been hailed by Gabriel Josipovici as
'Austria's finest postwar writer' and by George Steiner as 'one of the
masters of contemporary European fiction.' Faber Finds is proud to
reissue a selection of four of Bernhard's finest novels.
The Loser centres on a fictional relationship between piano virtuoso
Glenn Gould and two of his fellow students who feel compelled to
renounce their musical ambitions in the face of Gould's incomparable
genius. One commits suicide, while the other - the obsessive, witty,
and self-mocking narrator - has retreated into obscurity. Written as a
monologue in one remarkable unbroken paragraph, _The Loser_ is a
brilliant meditation on success, failure, genius, and fame.
