Thomas Bernhard is âone of the masters of contemporary European fictionâ (George Steiner); âone of the centuryâs most gifted writersâ (Newsday); âa virtuoso of rancor and rageâ (Bookforum). And although he is favorably compared with Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, and Robert Musil, it is only in recent years that he has gained a devoted cult following in America. A powerful, compact novella, Walking provides a perfect introduction to the absurd, dark, and uncommonly comic world of Bernhard, showing a preoccupation with themesâillness and madness, isolation, tragic friendshipsâthat would obsess Bernhard throughout his career. Walking records the conversations of the unnamed narrator and his friend Oehler while they walk, discussing anything that comes to mind but always circling back to their mutual friend Karrer, who has gone irrevocably mad. Perhaps the most overtly philosophical work in Bernhardâs highly philosophical oeuvre, Walking provides a penetrating meditation on the impossibility of truly thinking.
