I never put Thomas Bernhard on my GLM-list, I very well could have. He is an absolutely extraordinary author -. Here is a great interview with him, made by the German journalist and writer Asta Scheib
I was working on my post on women writers today and also mention Asta Scheib. She seems interesting as well and has not been translated. Thanks for the interview. For once someone asks really interesting questions. I couldn’t read all of it but will return soon.
Thank you for the link. Bernhard is one of those writers (and there seem to be so many) that I keep meaning to read and yet never quite getting around to… hopefully this will spur me on!
