## Description

'‘One of the darkest and funniest writers... A must read for everybody’ Karl Ove Knausgaard After a severe illness, the unnamed narrator of Correction returns to Austria to sift through the writings of his childhood friend, Roithamer - a brilliant but tormented scientist. The self-exiled son of a wealthy family, Roithamer dedicates his unexpected inheritance to an impossible vision: constructing a perfect Cone in the remote Kobernausser forest. His pursuit of perfection spirals into obsession, pushing him toward inevitable tragedy. Thomas Bernhard’s masterwork of precision and intensity, Correction is a haunting meditation on genius, madness, and the cost of human intellect.
