The Loser

A stunning novel that explores the relationship between three piano prodigies, The Loser is a breathtaking meditation on ambition, success, and failure. Written with lyrical prose and an outrageously cantankerous voice, this book is a testament to the incomparable talent of author Thomas Bernhard. Follow the journey of the narrator as he reflects on the legacy of piano virtuoso Glenn Gould and his own retreat from the public eye in the face of Gould's genius.
