Extinction: A Novel (Vintage International)

The last work of fiction by one of the twentieth century€s greatest artists, Extinction is widely considered Thomas Bernhard€s magnum opus.
 
Franz-Josef Murau€"the intellectual black sheep of a powerful Austrian land-owning family€"lives in Rome in self-imposed exile, surrounded by a coterie of artistic and intellectual friends. On returning from his sister€s wedding on the family estate of Wolfsegg, having resolved never to go home again, Murau receives a telegram informing him of the death of his parents and brother in a car crash. Not only must he now go back, he must do so as the master of Wolfsegg. And he must decide its fate. Written in the seamless, mesmerizing style for which Bernhard was
famous, Extinction is the ultimate proof of his extraordinary literary genius.
