At the behest of his surgical mentor, a young Austrian medical student poses as a law student to journey to a remote mining town in order to observe Strauch, an aging painter and brother of his mentor, without letting Strauch know his true occupation, and becomes caught up in the lives of the mad artist and a colorful assortment of local characters, in the first English edition of the author's debut novel. Reprint. 10,000 first printing.
Review:
"The late brilliant Austrian writer's first (1963) novel, previously untranslated is a characteristic excoriation of all things great and small and the tragicomedy of existence. Bernhard is an anti-Whitman who celebrates and sings the omnipresence of non-meaning, an anti-Blake who sees the universe in every grain of sand that irritates the eye and obscures the vision." [Starred review.]

Review:"FROST is a sort of MAGIC MOUNTAIN without the magic, though it's occasionally leavened by a quirky gallows humor....Occasionally...these ravings achieve a kind of lyrical grandeur."
Christopher Benfey, New York Times Book Review, 10/22/2006

Book Description: Knopf Publishing Group, United Kingdom, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 201 x 136 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Thomas Bernhard combined a searing wit and an unwavering gaze into the human condition. His debut novel, "Frost, " marked the beginning of one of the century's most provocative literary careers. Visceral, raw, singular, and unforgettable, "Frost "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.
