Meine Preise

Thomas Bernhard's angry-ironic perspective on the literary world. Cursing all of humanity and shaking his head at himself, Thomas Bernhard creates a self-portrait of the author as a recipient of awards and prize money. In an angry retrospective, he takes stock of the literary prizes awarded to him. The gifted comedian vividly recounts the tragedies that accompanied each award ceremony—whether it be the Bremen Literature Prize, the State Prize for Novels, the Grillparzer Prize, or the Georg Büchner Prize. Thomas Bernhard struggles with the world in general, the cultural scene in particular, and especially with himself in the midst of it all.
