Wie Max es sah

Louis Begley

As Max saw it

»The time is 1974, and Max, who is fleeing from the wreckage of his first marriage, is a summer-house guest on Lake Como, where he encounters the two characters who will shape his life over the next 20 years: Charlie Swan, a Harvard classmate from the 1950s turned famous architect […] and Toby, a poised and polymorphous teenager who is soon to become Charlie's protege and lover.« Time

Wimpern aus Gras

Ruth Johanna Benrath

Grass Eyelashes

In gripping, quickly interchanging scenes, Ruth Johanna Benrath tells the story of a wish for intimacy and love, and the fatal effect of dependence and submissiveness: the story of a young woman who becomes more and more alien to the very person she feels closest to.

Ich weiß, daß du weißt

Ulla Berkéwicz

I Know That You Know

Zimzum

Ulla Berkéwicz

Zimzum

Zimzum concerns the observations of a woman in the nineties on the emptiness of our time and on powerlessness in the face of the everyday. It tells of sexual fantasy, of traumatic experience of violence, about the fact that everything is possible and nothing works any more.

The Public Bernhard

This edition presents the first comprehensive collection of all texts that Thomas Bernhard wrote for publication in the media between 1950 and 1989 – from his court reports from Salzburg in the fifties to the tirades against God and the rest of the world published in the sixties and seventies, to the interviews about his play Heldenplatz conducted shortly before his death.

Die Billigesser

Thomas Bernhard

The Cheap-Eaters

For years, the four cheap-eaters have been eating at a certain Viennese public kitchen, from Monday to Friday, always the cheapest meals. They become the focus of Koller’s scientific attention when, one day, he doesn’t go to Alte Esche but to Alte Eiche instead and realises that they constitute the focal piece of his study on physiognomics entitled The Cheap-Eaters. The narrator – a bank clerk and former school friend of Koller’s – tries to hint at the vague insinuations Koller makes towards him about the content of this study.

Gehen

Thomas Bernhard

My Prizes

This hitherto unpublished comedic work shows Bernhard at the very top of his art: invective, flabbergasted, swearing and ridiculing. Thomas Bernhard quarrels with the world in general, the cultural world in particular, and most especially, with himself.

The Loser

»Thomas Bernhard was one of the most original writers of the twentieth century. His formal innovation ranks with Beckett and Kafka, his outrageously cantankerous voice recalls Dostoevsky, but his gift for lacerating, lyrical, provocative prose is incomparably his own.
