<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Thomas Bernhard combined a searing wit and an unwavering gaze into the human condition. His debut novel, <i>Frost, </i> marked the beginning of one of the century's most provocative literary careers. <p/>Visceral, raw, singular, and unforgettable, <i>Frost </i>is the story of a friendship between a young man beginning his medical career and a painter in his final days. The youth has accepted an unusual assignment, to travel to a miserable mining town in the middle of nowhere in order to clinically--and secretly--observe and report on his mentor's reclusive brother, the painter Strauch. Carefully disguising himself as a law student with a love of Henry James, he befriends the aging artist and attempts to carry out his mission, only to find himself caught up in his subject's apparent madness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A blast of raw feeling. . . . This is mercilessly honest work." --<i>Harper's Magazine</i>"One of the century's most gifted writers." --<i>Philadelphia Inquirer</i>"Bernhard is a remarkable literary performer: a man who goes to extremes in ways that vivify our sense of human possibilities." --<i>The Wall Street Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thomas Bernhard was born in Holland in 1931 and grew up in Austria.
