A gathering of
brilliant and viciously funny recollections from one of the
twentieth century’s most famous literary enfants terribles.
Written in 1980 but published here for the first time, these
texts tell the story of the various farces that developed around
the literary prizes Thomas Bernhard received in his lifetime.
Whether it was the Bremen Literature Prize, the Grillparzer Prize,
or the Austrian State Prize, his participation in the acceptance
ceremony—always less than gracious, it must be said—resulted in
scandal (only at the awarding of the prize from Austria’s Federal
Chamber of Commerce did Bernhard feel at home: he received that
one, he said, in recognition of the great example he set for
shopkeeping apprentices). And the remuneration connected with the
prizes presented him with opportunities for adventure—of the
new-house and luxury-car variety.
Here is a portrait of the writer as a prizewinner: laconic,
sardonic, and shaking his head with biting amusement at the world
and at himself. A revelatory work of dazzling comedy, the pinnacle
of Bernhardian art.
