„Wir müssen zu einem Moritz gehen und uns aussprechen können.“ Thomas Bernhards Novelle Ja.
"We must go to a Moritz and be able to talk things out." Thomas Bernhard's novella Ja.

Summary/Abstract: The present essay explores the course of the first- person narrator in Thomas Bernhard’s Novelle Ja in coming to terms with his terminal illness and the therapeutic roles allocated to the figures of Moritz, the real estate agent who allows him to reconnect with reality and the „Perserin“, the Persian woman, an anima-projection who enables him to cope emotionally with his situation. The strong biographical underpinning of the work lends a special poignancy to the work, although Bernhard’s adherence to his customary game plan results in a triumph over death, albeit temporary for the narrator.
