As the story begins, he's just blown the head off his wife with the Mannlicher carbine she kept strapped to her wheelchair. The murder and the bizarre life that led to it are the subject of a mass of hearsay related by an unnamed life-insurance salesman in a narrative as mazy, byzantine, and mysterious as the lime works--Konrad's sanctuary and tomb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Bernhard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400077583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400077588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.24w x 0.74d","brand":"Thomas Bernhard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048101409023,"sku":"9781400077588","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26732cc4-60e6-4baa-ae2b-1393522346f5.jpg?v=1684993889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lime-works-thomas-bernhard-9781400077588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
