Mis Premios by Thomas Bernhard
A mordantly comic set of autobiographical vignettes about receiving literary prizes, in which the narrator skewers the pomp, hypocrisy, and provincialism of the cultural establishment while admitting his own opportunism; amid awkward ceremonies, illnesses, and quarrelsome speeches—often followed by extravagant meals and shopping with his aunt—each award becomes a caustic meditation on money, vanity, and the absurdity of public honors.
