Correction is a novel by Thomas Bernhard, originally published in German in 1975, and first published in English translation in 1979 by Alfred A. Knopf. Correction’s setting is a garret in the middle of an Austrian forest, described by the narrator as the "thought dungeon" in which the main character, Roithamer, will pursue his project of constructing an extraordinary habitation, the Cone, as a present for his beloved sister. Roithamer is deeply attached to his sister; this does not, however, prevent his provoking her death, which occurs on the very day that she moves into this conic house that he has built for her with formidable effort, in the forest. Roithamer has unwittingly killed his sister by forcing her to inhabit a house that was completely contrary to her own nature.

  • Correzione (in tedesco: Korrektur) è, secondo il critico George Steiner, uno dei romanzi più importanti dello scrittore austriaco Thomas Bernhard. Roithamer, protagonista del romanzo, è una figura in parte ispirata a quella del filosofo Ludwig Wittgenstein. Discendente da una famiglia di possidenti di campagna, si è tolto la vita, condotto alla pazzia dalle sue ossessioni speculative e intellettuali, in una graduale disgregazione mentale che è continuamente portata alla "correzione" delle proprie alienate percezioni del reale.La narrativa di Bernhard viene accostata dalla critica a quella di Franz Kafka e di Samuel Beckett e le affinità sono particolarmente visibili in Correzione.Come accennato, Bernhard basò certi aspetti biografici del personaggio centrale, Roithamer, sulla vita del filo (it)
