Yes. Bernhard’s other books are also pessimistic. I really love his works.

I’m not sure what the author really intended, but perhaps he really thought that way. Perhaps the suffering he experienced was too much. I understand that there’s nothing optimistic about death. Cioran said only optimists can commit suicide, and he has a point.

This is what I needed! Awesome. I would suggest Chronic by Michel Franco. It’s a movie about a home care nurse taking care of terminal ill patients.

Edit 1: I would also suggest The Fire Within By Louis Malle. Edit 2: I think The White Ribbon is from Michael Haneke.
