Concrete (novel)
Concrete (Beton, 1982) is a novel by Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard.[1]
Like many of Bernhard’s books, it is written in the form of a monologue--essentially a rant lasting for 150 pages with no chapter breaks or even separate paragraphs--by Rudolf, a Viennese amateur musicologist and convalescent. Almost completely isolated from the world, Rudolf, who suffers from sarcoidosis, has spent his adult life pursuing many writing projects on classical musicians.
A new edition of the novel, along with other out-of-print works by Bernhard, was published in 2012 on Faber & Faber's 'Faber Finds' imprint.

gollark: There was a buffer or something it needed which didn't seem to exist because of me hackily patching stuff together, so I just assumed 512 bytes was enough.
gollark: There are probably horrible issues in the code I hackily tweaked, but I can't see them and it doesn't cause immediate crashing, so I ignored it.
gollark: It leaks 28 bytes of memory once, because I thought it wasn't worth adding extra code to deallocate it on exit.
gollark: Although the current version, as far as I can tell, lacks any issues except a *minor* memory leak.
gollark: Sorry, happen.
