Bernhard, Thomas. Over All the Mountain Tops. Translation by Michael Mitchell. Riverside, Ariadne Press, 2004.
"Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought. Translation Series".- "This play is Bernhard's devastating satire on the business of literature. The novelist Moritz Meister, after years of neglect, has finally achieved the status of Grand Old Man of German literature. With breathtakingly regal condescension he receives his minions: a graduate student writing a thesis on him, a journalist preparing an adulatory article, his publisher arranging the publication of his magnum opus. He regales them - and the audience - with noble, high-flown thoughts on art and life, while exploiting his situation to the full to gain honors and material comforts. Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) was one of the major and most controversial German-language dramatists of the 1970s and 1980s. His very individual use of the theater reduces traditional structures such as plot and character to a minimum and turns the stage into a vehicle for his virtuoso use of language and deeply pessimistic view of life" (Ariadne Press).- Eingeschweißt, neuwertig.

Lavant, Christine. Memoirs from a Madhouse. Preface and Afterword by Ursula Schneider and Annette Steinsiek. Riverside, Ariadne Press, 2004.
"Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought. Translation Series".- "Christine Lavant (1915-1973), one of Austria's most famous yet obscure 20th-century poets, grew up in a small village, in a provincial Catholic milieu, in southern Austria as the ninth child of a very poor family. She suffered from eye and ear problems, was pathologically introverted, and supported herself with knitting. Her poetry is unconventional, filled with neologisms, mysterious and magical. We hear echoes of Rilke, whom she admired. Thomas Bernhard referred to her work as testimony to a 'zerstörte Welt / destroyed world.' She was honored with numerous literary awards, among them the Austrian State Prize for Literature in 1970, three years before her death. This narration, in which the narrator checks herself into an asylum for six weeks, was not published until after her death, because she considered it too personal. We find autobiographical elements in it which describes her exhaustion, her sleeplessness, her failed suicide attempt, and her daily struggles to survive by writing. She observes her colleague-inmates who dance the dance of madness as 'hunchback queen' and are forced to wear straitjackets, or the narrator sees a place where angels just may be possible."
