The Ignorant and the Madman | Thomas Bernhard

"In this work of atrocious comedy, as the translator points out
-Miguel Sáenz-, Bernhard admirably revels in two of his main obsessions: illness and music; and he does so through endless variations within a representational framework defined by grotesque contrasts. Thus we discover the detailed discourse about an autopsy with the background sound of Die Zauberflöte...or the presence of a blind, alcoholic father morbidly dependent on his daughter, an acclaimed opera singer. With all these elements, this author, an admirer of good performers, has crafted an intense score to showcase the actors, with characters who journey from sordid existentialism to a kind of stark humor that will elicit a liberating laugh.
