About the author

Thomas Bernhard

Austrian playwright and novelist whose work attacked his country's Nazi past and cultural complacency with hysterical, repetitive, claustrophobic prose. Heldenplatz caused a national scandal in Austria. His will famously forbade any performance of his work in Austria after his death—a prohibition that was eventually lifted.
