La commistione fra camminata e pensiero dà vita al dialogo rutilante e frammentato che il libro sviluppa. Due persone che parlano e camminano, con la scrittura che le segue. Sì, in mezzo ci sono momenti divertenti tanto quanto considerazioni esistenziali preziose, ma personalmente ho apprezzato più l'idea che la realizzazione. ( ) I couldn't finish this very short novella by an author some have called a towering intellect. It was repetitive and meandering. Its central themes and philosophical ideas were simple and presented plainly. The introduction by Brian Everson was far more interesting. The discussion at the heart of the character's metaphorical and literal walk did not stir an iota of emotion in me. I want to discover a work by Bernhard I can enjoy. I want to understand why everyone recommends him so highly. Perhaps my next attempt will be more successful. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Thomas Bernhard is "one of the masters of contemporary European fiction" (George Steiner); "one of the century's most gifted writers" (Newsday); "a virtuoso of rancor and rage" (Bookforum). And although he is favorably compared with Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, and Robert Musil, it is only in recent years that he has gained a devoted cult following in America. A powerful, compact novella, Walking provides a perfect introduction to the absurd, dark, and uncommonly comic world of Bernhard, showing a preoccupation with themes--illness and madness, isolation, tragic friendships--that would obsess Bernhard throughout his career. Walking records the conversations of the unnamed narrator and his friend Oehler while they walk, discussing anything that comes to mind but always circling back to their mutual friend Karrer, who has gone irrevocably mad. Perhaps the most overtly philosophical work in Bernhard's highly philosophical oeuvre, Walking provides a penetrating meditation on the impossibility of truly thinking.
