This prose enacts the essential motif of the novel: the notion that every 'correction' is also a negation . . . . The remarkable point is the extent to which the ascetic compactness of Bernhard's style turns these abstractions into a sensory presence . . . . [Bernhard's] connections, at once developmental and contrastive, with the great 'Austrian' constellation of Hofmannsthal, Kafka, Musil and Broch become ever clearer."—George Steiner, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i><BR><BR>"<i>Correction</i> is something exceedingly rare among novels of recent years: a paradigm of consciousness and not simply a product . . . . Bernhard has said that 'the art we need is the art of bearing the unbearable,' and his novel joins that small group of literary works which nobly help us to do that."—Richard Gilman, <i>The Nation</i><BR><BR>"It is high time that we keep Bernhard firmly in our mind, as European readers have been doing for many years now."—Peter Demetz, <i>Christian Science Monitor</i></div> 2118704 1978 Correction total:116|5:63|4:38|3:12|2:2|1:1| 116 508 294 18 5 3 false false Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun May 20 15:24:49 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 11 05:49:28 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Jun 20 13:08:43 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 13:08:43 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Jul 14 12:42:01 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 12:42:56 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Wed Mar 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 21:41:53 -0800 2009 Fri May 15 20:43:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Sep 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 11 07:05:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 14 20:25:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Aug 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 04 10:32:57 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 03 19:11:03 -0700 2008

I would have given it four stars, but the misogyny got a bit tiresome.
