Synopsis

This play is Thomas Bernhard's satire on the business of literature. The novelist Moritz Meister, after years of neglect, has finally achieved the status of Grand Old Man of German literature. With breathtaking regal condescension he receives his minions: a graduate student writing a thesis on him, a journalist preparing an adulatory article, his publisher arranging the publication of his magnum opus. He regales them - and the audience - with noble, high-flown thoughts on art and life, while exploiting his situation to the full to gain honors and material comforts.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) was one of the major and most controversial German-language dramatists of the 1970s and 1980s. His very individual use of theatre reduces traditional structures such as plot and character to a minimum and turns the stage into a vehicle for his virtuoso use of language and deeply pessimistic view of life.

Michael Mitchell is the Director of Admissions and Recruiting at Oklahoma Christian University and the author of the blog, "Life to Her Years: Life Lessons for Dads Who Love their Daughters." When he's not busy wearing those two hats, Michael enjoys trying to balance his efforts to be a good husband to Annaleise, father to IIsabella Grace and Benjamin Gray, a man of God, a modern abolitionist in the fight against human trafficking, and an avid consumer of good books, good music, and dark coffee.
