Maître

A famous author, who we'd happily call "Master", has just finished his masterpiece Tetralogy. He has reached the heights of fame and lives retired in his idyllic house in the German Pre-Alps. His wife is his humble servant and his publisher his sounding board. Everyone admires him, but above all, he admires himself. The prince of writers knows everything. Literature, music, archaeology and even beekeeping hold no secrets for him. From pirouette to pirouette, he sinks into his vanity, no matter how insane. An acerbic portrait of cultural affairs, Thomas Bernhard's irony at its best.
