Product Description
Synopsis
This is the last satirical novel from Thomas Bernhard, one of Austrian's greatest writers. It takes the form of a dramatic monologue spoken by a man at the end of his tether, in whom the burden of the past has become intolerable - leading to literal extinction.

5.0 out of 5 stars The alphabet's contribution to the kangaroo's extinction, 22 Sep 1999
May I draw amazon's attention to the subtle difference, consisting of at least two strategically placed letters, between Australia and Austria, whence Mr Bernhard, now dead, came.
