{"product_id":"9780922233465","title":"Thomas Bernhard: 3 Days","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the course of three days in 1970, June 5, 6, and 7, simply sitting on a white bench in a Hamburg park, Thomas Bernhard delivered a powerful monologue for \u003ci\u003eThree Days\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eDrei Tage\u003c\/i\u003e), filmmaker Ferry Radax’s commanding film portrait of the great Austrian writer. Radax interwove the monologue with a variety of metaphorically resonant visual techniques—blacking out the screen to total darkness, suggestive of the closing of the observing eye; cuts to scenes of cameramen, lighting and recording equipment; extreme camera distance and extreme closeup. Bernhard had not yet written his autobiographical work \u003ci\u003eGathering Evidence\u003c\/i\u003e, published originally in five separate volumes between 1975 and 1982, and his childhood remembrances were a revelation. This publication of Bernhard’s monologue and stills from Radax’s artful film allows this unique portrait of Bernhard to be savored in book form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blast Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022750662896,"sku":"9780922233465","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780922233465_p0.jpg?v=1763875668","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780922233465","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
