Frost by Thomas Bernhard
Thomas Bernhard combined a searing wit and an unwavering gaze into the human condition. His debut novel, Frost, marked the beginning of one of the century's most provocative literary careers. Visceral, raw, singular, and unforgettable, Frost is the story of a friendship between a young man beginning his medical career and a painter in his final days. 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.Thomas Bernhardt studied Business Administration, Law, and International Relations after being born in Hohenems, Austria, in 1972. He has worked in industry in Europe, North America, and Asia since 1996, holding several General Management positions. The author graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science's Executive Master of Science degree in International Strategy and Diplomacy in 2018.
