I Thomas Bernhards anden selvbiografiske roman Kælderen. En unddragelse (1976), der udspiller sig umiddelbart efter Anden Verdenskrig, indleder han sine læreår med at vende gymnasiet ryggen og gå i den modsatte retning for at begynde i købmandslære. I Salzburgs ghetto, Scherzhauserfeldkvarteret, kommer den unge købmandslærling i livets hårde skole blandt byens ydmygede og sårede. Arbejdet og de mange menneskelige møder, forvandler den introverte dreng til et socialt individ og sender mod slutningen hans stræben i en ny retning; han begynder at tage undervisning i sang. Kælderen kan læses som en klassisk dannelsesrejse, hvor et ungt menneske ved at vælge sin egen vej finder sig selv. Bernhards kontrapunktiske prosa og kompromisløse sandhedssøgen er endnu engang med til at gøre rejsen til en helt igennem moderne selvbeskrivelse.… (more)

Mitunter das Hasserfüllteste und Misanthropischste, was ich je las. Es ist wundervoll. ( )

This is my first encounter with Thomas Bernhard, and:

* this book contains few full stops, few chapters and very few - if any - line breaks
* the style is kind of Aspergerish, in a good way

You get into a trance with the writing, which is obviously either by a master or by somebody who got really lucky with writing a book. It's not long, but in here, Bernhard gets a lot in, e.g. why Saturdays and Sundays are the real Killers of People and why there's only One True Path.

I can't do this book justice. It's like twirling Dervishes and trance music: you have to get into it to be able to really appreciate it. So go. ( )

In the age of the novel being the author and the main hero at the same time is tough. The style, which is in itself a conscious, deliberate choice may become an obstacle and a contradiction. Thus Bernhard's writing is convolute, every idea circling around the sink hole for pages before it goes down, the text inexorably a stream of conciousness, the narrator unreliable but authoritative.

But it catches and closes on what it's being read by like a zipper on a body bag.

The last 30 pages or so are fiercely bleak, relentless and without redemption, well worth the downward spiral. ( )
