书籍简介

故事发生在中世纪的奥地利，三位有抱负的音乐会钢琴家--沃特海默、格伦·古尔德和叙述者--为成为演奏家而奉献了自己的全部生命。但有一天，他们中的两个人无意中听到古尔德弹奏的巴赫的《戈德堡变奏曲》，他出众的天赋瞬间摧毁了他们两人的信心。

他们被迫放弃了自己的音乐野心：沃特海默，在痛苦的割舍的过程中，逐渐在写作和相依为命的妹妹中找到了慰藉。渐渐地，他与妹妹之间形成了一种超乎常态的羁绊，带来的却是死亡的结局；而叙述者则退居幕后，写了一本被他周期性销毁和重启的书。

托马斯·伯恩哈德写独白的时候采用了一种特殊的、不间断的段落形式，他对失败、天才和名声的发人深省的思考将带来一种全新的阅读体验：音乐性的、无力的、汹涌的且不可模仿的。

Mid-century Austria. Three aspiring concert pianists - Wertheimer, Glenn Gould, and the narrator - have dedicated their lives to achieving the status of a virtuoso. But one day, two of them overhear Gould playing Bach's Goldberg Variations, and his incomparable genius instantly destroys them both.

They are forced to abandon their musical ambitions: Wertheimer, over a tortured process of disintegration that sees him becoming obsessed with both writing and his own sister, with whom he has a quasi-incestuous relationship culminating in death; and the narrator, instantly, retreating into obscurity to write a book that he periodically destroys and restarts.

Written as a monologue in one remarkable unbroken paragraph, Thomas Bernhard's dazzling meditation on failure, genius, and fame is a radical new reading experience: musical, paralysing, raging, and inimitable.
