Default Re: Thomas Bernhard

No, "Gargoyles" isn't one of his best. He hadn't quite found himself at that point. It lacks a dramatic structure. Much better is "The Lime Works" if you can ever find a copy. That and "Concrete" are my two favorites of his although I haven't read "Frost" which everyone seems to like.
