Correction: A Novel (Vintage International)

The scientist Roithamer has dedicated the last six years of his life to â€œthe Cone,â€ an edifice of mathematically exact construction that he has erected in the center of his familyâ€™s estate in honor of his beloved sister. Not long after its completion, he takes his own life. As an unnamed friend pieces togetherâ€”literally, from thousands of slips of papers and one troubling manuscriptâ€”the puzzle of Rotheimerâ€™s breakdown, what emerges is the story of a genius ceaselessly compelled to correct and refine his perceptions until the only logical conclusion is the negation of his own soul.
Â
Considered by many critics to be Thomas Bernhardâ€™s masterpiece, Correction is a cunningly crafted and unforgettable meditation on the tension between the desire for perfection and the knowledge that it is unattainable.
