About this deal

Mr. Bernhard's portrait of a society in dissolution has a Scandinavian darkness reminiscent of Ibsen and Strindberg, but it is filtered through with a minimalist prose. . . . Woodcutters offers an unusually strange, intense, engrossing literary experience."—Mark Anderson, New York Times Book Review These numbers are based on 1500 cuts per hour. With trees being felled players will realistically hit lower values, but it's best to have a consistent baseline to compare. Así que al narrador solo le queda hacer lo que cualquier individuo civilizado haría en su situación: sentarse en un sillón en un rincón apartado, poner una cara que espante a los pocos incautos que se atrevan a acercarse, despellejar a todos los asistentes y beber hasta que el asco desaparezca. Y, por supuesto, sentirse una víctima. The dinner party sort of turns into an impromptu gathering for the group’s friend (and the narrator’s ex-lover) who has committed suicide. His internal tirades start to become a bitter reminiscence about love and relationships, youth, loss. Fue una gran experiencia haber leído a este autor, es un libro que no ofrece dificultad en su lectura y me parece muy recomendable.

It is sensible to be cautious about meals involving bread: for some reason Woodcutter's bread is consistently dry and slightly stale, and it has been that way for years!

El narrador de Woodcutters no tiene su momento magdalena —que hubiera sido un momento champán, en todo caso— pero lentamente se va dando cuenta de que ni él es tan diferente, ni los demás son completamente estúpidos. Bueno, la mayoría sí, pero algunos —incluso el infecto actor del Burgtheater—, de vez en cuando, si se le escucha en lugar de juzgarles por su imagen pública, dicen cosas interesantes. Es más, algunos tienen el valor de expresar en voz alta lo que el narrador solo se atreve a rumiar para sí. Meanwhile, after a couple of hours, the celebrated actor appears and promptly monopolises the conversation which is entirely about himself. While the unnamed writer sits in his wing chair thinking how utterly detestable the celebrity is, he becomes aware that the actor is perhaps putting on a show for the diners, and that just maybe he isn’t all that bad. And as the narrator continues observing and pondering, he realises that he himself has been ‘guilty’ of the same ‘offences’ that he observes. In fact these people are a mirror image of his own behaviour. Dr. Stephen R Covey defined “Sharpen Your Saw (or Axe)” to be: increasing your personal productivity, by having a balanced strategy to renew yourself in the four aspects of life: Physical, Social, Mental, and Spiritual.Si Marcel Proust no se hubiera comido la dichosa magdalena probablemente habría terminado escribiendo algo parecido a Woodcutters. Sí, ya sé que el estilo de En busca del tiempo perdido no puede ser más diferente del de cualquiera de las obras de Thomas Bernhard, pero a lo mejor no estoy tan desencaminado… El momento magdalena fue, para un Proust tan desengañado de la sociedad y la cultura de su tiempo hasta el punto de haber renunciado a la literatura, una revelación gracias a la cuál fue capaz de recuperar el tiempo perdido de una manera mucho más amable y creativa. Sin embargo, si no hubiera tenido algo para mojar en el té, me puedo imaginar perfectamente a un Proust ya maduro, amargado y cascarrabias, sentado en un sillón del salón de la duquesa de Guermantes, criticando entre dientes a todos y cada uno de los asistentes a la velada al tiempo que se maldice a sí mismo por haber aceptado la invitación. Pues bien, eso más o menos es Woodcutters. The narration – a virtual torrent of gall – is an inner soliloquy of an old lonely writer disappointed in all those present at the artistic dinner and in all their creative ambitions. This inner monologue is sorrowfully bitter and sadly ambivalent…
