Y si a eso le añadimos que es un drama en torno a un triángulo de personajes misántropos y elitistas, en el peor sentido de la palabra, y que nos llega por medio del discurso mental de un ser antipático que conforman una prosa incómoda, que por momentos me llegó a parecer torpe, la verdad, es que no parecía tener mucho futuro conmigo.Aunque Bernhard utiliza la repetición de expresiones de un modo rítmico en todas sus obras, en El malogrado este recurso cobra una dimensión especial; en cierto sentido está haciendo con la escritura lo mismo que hizo Bach con la música en las Variaciones Goldberg: toma un tema sencillo y lo repite una y otra vez cambiando algo en cada ocasión.

Perfect for readers aged 7+ years old and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Man, Tom Gates and Pamela Butchart. Donald faces the familiar challenges of elementary-aged children - disagreeable teachers, peer pressure, social conformity, and competition. Pero todavía no ha conseguido ningún pianista hacerse a sí mismo superfluo, siendo Steinway, según Glenn.
