“Whatever you write it’s always a catastrophe. That’s the depressing thing about the fate of a writer… All you deliver is a bad, ridiculous copy of what you had imagined… It’s especially hard in the German language, because that language is wooden, clumsy, disgusting. A terrible language that kills anything light and wonderful. The only thing one can do is sublimate that language with a rhythm and give it musicality.” – Thomas Bernhard: “My Prizes” (1980)
