New York Times Book Review: "FROST is a sort of MAGIC MOUNTAIN without the magic, though it's occasionally leavened by a quirky gallows humor....Occasionally...these ravings achieve a kind of lyrical grandeur." |

| Details: |
The first translation of Thomas Bernhard's first novel, FROST, follows a young medical student who travels to a miserable, icy mining town called Weng to observe a desperate and reclusive painter named Strauch. While the townspeople stumble through their futile lives, Strauch holds forth on art, life, the worthlessness of the world, and the inadequacy of love. A tragicomedy with a razor-sharp edge, this early work shows the first dark glimmerings of Bernhard's misanthropic genius. |
