Loser

Product Information

e. not many readers on Goodreads read him that much and The Loser seems to be the most popular among all his books. To all those authors who wiped the clear, unambiguous White (read good) and Black (read bad) from her book world, she casts a teary eye and howls a simple question: Why? But rather Why is it going on and why am I reading this and why oh why Bernhard wrote something of this sorts? It’s a pseudo auto-biographical account of Bernhard’s own life and general reflections of what it is to be A Genius, A Loser, A Philosopher, or a Human Being in the God forsaken circumstances.

We have three aspiring concert pianists-Glenn Gould (drawn from real life), an Austrian pianist named Wertheimer (the notional protagonist) and the unnamed narrator-who become friends in 1953 in Salzburg while studying piano with the great Horowitz.

Esta observación, sin embargo, la hace todo el mundo, decía, pensé, porque todo el mundo dice algo ininterrumpidamente y es malentendido, en ese único punto se entienden sin embargo todos, decía, pensé. I really don’t have an answer to any of those questions but all I know is somehow I enjoyed the discomfort this book caused.It is this fact that these two cannot seem to reconcile, one quits the piano altogether, and the other just can't be bothered with existing. In the first book, Barry has had enough of being a loser and wants to prove he’s a Total Winner, but when his parents ban him from gaming he has to think outside of the box .

In Donald Zinkoff, Spinelli has created an endearing character whose innocent delight, patient tolerance, and courageous self-sacrifice serve as a superb example of why it’s important to see inside a person, no matter how peculiar or inept he or she may seem on the outside. It portrays the growth of Zinkoff, who is considered "stupid" by his classmates due to his clumsiness, poor performance in school and athletics, and sometimes, clueless enthusiasm. Wertheimer is a truck load of talent too, enough to prevail over most of the piano-playing community around him but nowhere near Glenn's magnificence. Pero todavía no ha conseguido ningún pianista hacerse a sí mismo superfluo, siendo Steinway, según Glenn. His novels are recognized for their humor and poignancy, and his characters and situations are often drawn from his real-life experience as a father of six children.A differenza dei precedenti Bernahrd finora letti, il personaggio centrale del romanzo (se romanzo lo possiamo chiamare) non è l’io narrante, ma una persona altra (Wertheimer) osservata e descritta dall’io narrante e utilizzata per ritrarre in negativo l’uomo geniale, rappresentato dal virtuoso di pianoforte Glenn Gould.
