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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Bernhard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400033519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400033515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.34w x 0.70d","brand":"Thomas Bernhard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045234897151,"sku":"9781400033515","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8188b55-6b82-4c84-92f8-828b849fc52d.jpg?v=1684977541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frost-thomas-bernhard-9781400033515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
