His debut novel, \u003ci\u003eFrost, \u003c\/i\u003e marked the beginning of one of the century's most provocative literary careers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVisceral, raw, singular, and unforgettable, \u003ci\u003eFrost \u003c\/i\u003eis the story of a friendship between a young man beginning his medical career and a painter in his final days. The youth has accepted an unusual assignment, to travel to a miserable mining town in the middle of nowhere in order to clinically--and secretly--observe and report on his mentor's reclusive brother, the painter Strauch. Carefully disguising himself as a law student with a love of Henry James, he befriends the aging artist and attempts to carry out his mission, only to find himself caught up in his subject's apparent madness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400033515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.34w x 0.70d","brand":"Thomas Bernhard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059801456821,"sku":"9781400033515","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_17fec61b-691d-459e-9011-edc1322851ef.jpg?v=1690298551","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/frost-9781400033515","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
