So, how do you guys feel about Krasznahorkai? As of late, I've

i really, really like him
war & war is my favourite, having read all of his stuff that's been translated into english so far

>>9911065
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he write War & War in English? Or at least, I've always seen it tagged as his "second english novel"

>>9911014
I read Melancholy of Resistance whilst slumming it in North North Africa (Spain, France, Germany) and I found it to be simply amazing

>>9911092
no he did not, all of his books are written in hungarian
the english translation is by george szirtes who is the best of his translations imo

>>9911014
satantango is pure kino. irimias is my favorite character in all postmodern lit

>>9911111
Then I guess they were talking about the setting, weird

>>9911139
i guess
a fair portion takes place in new york
it's extremely good regardless. george szirtes does such a great job, although i cannot comment on how accurate it is to the original, it's a superb work in its own right

>>9911139
They were probably referencing the fact that it was his second novel to be translated into English, after the Melancholy of Resistence.

>>9911014
He is the current end of level boss for literature.

Is he one of the precious few authors on which we can reach a consensus of positive judgement?

I read Seiobo There Below and was really really impressed. I want to read more but can't afford right now and uni library has none.

You can find Satantango, War & War and The Melancholy of Resistance on libgen, just saying

>>9911474
only because few enough have read him
i've already sensed 'bernhard is better' rumblings in the making

>>9911487

>>9911487
