Beschreibung
The Loser is a novel by Thomas Bernhard, originally published in German in 1983. The Loser consists almost entirely of its (unnamed) narrator's recollections of and ruminations on his relationships with two pianist one named Wertheimer, the other named Glenn Gould. Like all of Bernhard's novels since Frost (1963), The Loser is written in the form of a continuous first person interior monologue, unbroken by paragraph indentations and full of run-on sentences, obsessive repetitions, odd and unexplained uses of italics, and alienating leaps (without transition) from verb tense to verb tense.
