"In 1970, sitting on a park bench, Thomas Bernhard delivered a powerful monologue over the course of a three-day shoot for Three Days, filmmaker Ferry Radax's artful portrait of the great Austrian writer. Published here in English for the first time and accompanied by stills from Radax's film, Bernhard's candid, penetrating reflections on his life and his work can now be savored in book form. The author of many prize-winning novels, stories, plays, and a five-volume autobiography, Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) is internationally acclaimed as a writer in the pantheon of world literature classics. His works have been widely translated." --
