jakeyjake 's review for:
Woodcutters
by Sezer Duru, Thomas Bernhard
--I really wish I read this book sitting in a wing chair--
You really get nestled into the wing chair with this rather unhappy guy. It only takes about 200 "I thought as I sat in the wing chair"s to start to feel like you're intimately familiar with him, Joana Billroth, the unbearable Auersburgers, and the rest of the folks waiting for the 'actor from the Burgtheater' to show up for the mid-night dinner being held in his honor. I thought a lot about what the wing chair he was sitting in must have looked like. Was it one of those wing chairs that fanned out to really look like a wing? Or was a wing chair just in the sense that it had tall sides on both left and right? Are you getting sick of me using the word 'wing chair'? Maybe this book isn't for you, then, if you don't like wing chairs, or if you're already getting sick of hearing the words 'wing chair.'
What a surprising treat! especially since I doubt I could ever write a synopsis of this book that would make it sound appealing to anyone. Thanks, Ynna. You just said, 'I think you'd like this,' and I did.
"Being unable to make people more reasonable, I preferred to be happy away from them."
