In this work, Thomas Bernhard recounts his stay in a sanatorium after a health crisis. Bernhard rebels against medical arbitrariness and tries to unravel his personality and the shadow of his father. Only music and literature keep him connected to life during this sombre period, which becomes a learning experience.

For readers of contemporary Austrian fiction and literary memoirs with an introspective tone.
Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard was an Austrian novelist, playwright, poet and polemicist who is considered one of the most important German-language authors of the postwar era. He explored themes of death, isolation, obsession and illness in controversial literature that was pessimistic about the human condition and highly critical of post-war Austrian and European culture. He developed a distinctive prose style often featuring multiple perspectives on characters and events, idiosyncratic vocabulary and punctuation, and long monologues by protagonists on the verge of insanity.
