This was an absolute joy to read, did anyone else love the colourful descriptions of food against the bleak backdrop?

Can we have a Hungarian literature general or something? I've enjoyed a lot from what I've read so far and I'm willing to look into more.

Hey senpai, read Anna Édes, another book of Kosztolányi.
Though I am Hungarian I haven't read Szerb Antal's 'Utas és holdvilág' yet, but it's considered as a classic and also got an NYRB edition (Journey by Moonlight).
Of Kosztolányi, I’ve only read the Esti-books so far, but they were great.
"Journey by Moonlight" I also liked well.
And now we have Krasznahorkai reaching for the sublime.

Great book, but as far as a joy, I cant say that. Depressing as fuck more like it. Reminder that Skylark is the end result of the /r9k/ ideal.
What the author did at the end there was totally unexpected and really masterful, most of the rest of the book was a pleasure.
