alt Hacker NewsI like Bernhard. I also recommend The Lime Works and wittgenstein’s nephew if you like correction. I found Bernhard through Thomas Ligotti. For Ligotti I recommend teatro grottesco and if you want to dive off the deep end the conspiracy against the human race.
I never made the connection between Bernhard and Ligotti, but it makes sense. Both seem to have been heavily influenced by Schopenhauer, the granddaddy of pessimism.
