Description
Woodcutters, a novel by Thomas Bernhard, is a scathing critique of the Austrian bourgeoisie. A composer and his society wife, once admired by the narrator, now evoke his disdain. The evening's guest of honour, a famous actor, is late, and the narrator's merciless scrutiny is unleashed upon the gathering.
The guests are subjected to a tirade of epic proportions, culminating in an explosive end to the evening. Originally banned in Bernhard's homeland, Woodcutters is a searing expose of the pretentiousness of the Austrian elite, illuminated by a new afterword by Anne Enright.
