Voice Imitator

"If you are foolish enough to think that things will all work out in the end...,then steer clear of Thomas Bernhard's books -- and of this review. You'll only be offended....Those still reading can be assured that simperingly positive attitudes, blind faith, feel-good philosophy and deluded optimism--all of which have become like a new form of oppressive American weather--will never show up in the brutal darkness of Bernhard's work. And thank God for it....These are blistering anecdotes, negative distortions of news items, stories of severity that portray depths of hatred with a casual comic touch."Bernhard, Thomas is the author of 'Voice Imitator', published 1997 under ISBN 9780226044019 and ISBN 0226044017.
