"i recently read a pull quote from Bernhard proclaiming he seeks to dominate or pummel sentences in his work. without context that seems like a very philosophical or academic approach to writing. and then i began readding Correction and, in practice, that approach could not be more evident."

Totally agree. I really enjoyed the first half and painfully trudged through the second half. As intended, I’m sure. Unforgettable though

Oh that’s interesting, Nick. Something of the Cone within the sentences. I like that. I’ve read 6 Bernhard titles this year and had such a hard time ranking them for myself. The Lime Works was a trudge, but looking back I really enjoyed it. I do think Bernhard’s style works better in his shorter works, i.e. The Loser, Woodcutters, Concrete. In the last 12 months Bernhard has become a favorite of mine. A true original beyond accurate compare. His work is always a true experience.
