This author wrote a play in which Hedwig is slowly driven insane by auditory hallucinations of crowds cheering "Sieg Heil" after her husband, Professor Schuster, jumps to his death in the title square.
This author wrote a play in which Hedwig is slowly driven insane by auditory hallucinations of crowds cheering "Sieg Heil" after her husband, Professor Schuster, jumps to his death in the title square. One of this author's novels consists of an extended conversation between Atzbacher and Reger, a critic who spends every day staring at Tintoretto's Portrait of a White-bearded Man--that novel includes a passage attacking Heidegger as "that ridiculous Nazi philistine in plus-fours." He also wrote novels about Roithamer, who kills his sister by building her an isolated house shaped like a perfect cone, and Wertheimer, a pianist who commits suicide because he'll never be as good as Glenn Gould. The uproar over his play Heldenplatz helped inspire a clause in his will which banned publication of his unfinished works in his native Austria. Known for his narrators' obsessive monologues, for 10 points, name this author of Old Masters, Correction, and The Loser.
