One night in the middle of winter, as deep snow covers the
mountains and forests, a doctor is crossing the ridge in Austria
from Traich to Foeding to see a patient. He stumbles over a body in
the darkness and fears it is a corpse. But it's not a corpse at
all. In fact, it's wooden-legged Victor Halfwit, collapsed, but
still very much alive. So begins this simultaneously absurd and
tragic tale by celebrated Austrian playwright, novelist, and poet
Thomas Bernhard. Combining the darkly comic voice and vision of
Bernhard with the lush and beautiful collages of Indian designer
Sunandini Banerjee, Victor Halfwit is a unique and collectible
artist's book. Illustrated in color throughout, this edition
imaginatively presents Bernhard's fable in a distinctive and
unconventional style. It is the perfect gift book that will be
cherished by fans of Bernhard's other works and will inspire new
interest among visual artists.
