Magyar Author László Krasznahorkai Receives the Nobel Award in Literature
The Hungarian writer has awarded the prestigious Nobel in Literary Arts.
This Hungarian author was honored "for his powerful and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of end-times terror, asserts the might of creative expression."
The author has authored five novels and garnered numerous further literary awards, including the 2015's Man Booker International Prize, and the 2013's finest rendered book award in Narrative for his initial book "Satantango", a avant-garde work regarding the conclusion of the planet.
Krasznahorkai is the next Hungarian novelist to receive the prize following the late Imre Kertesz, who was awarded in 2002.
Originating in 1954, Krasznahorkai obtained fame in 1985 when he released Satantango, which he adapted for the big screen in 1994.
This b&w movie, by Hungarian film-maker Bela Tarr, is renowned for its lengthy running time.
Krasznahorkai's further novels comprise:
- "The Melancholy of Resistance" (1989)
- "War and War" (the late 90s)
- "Seiobo There Below" (the 2000s)
Nobel committee portrayed Krasznahorkai as "a great epic novelist in the Central European tradition that extends via Franz Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is marked by absurdism and distorted excess."
Krasznahorkai's 2021 book Herscht 07769 has been called as a significant contemporary Deutsch book, because of its exactness in illustrating the land's communal turmoil prior to the pandemic.
It is a portrayal of a current small town in Thüringen, Deutschland, plagued by social chaos, homicide and arson.
"Gentle giant Herscht Florian is an orphan, raised by a neo-Nazi who has trained him as a wall writing remover.
"The Boss, a Johann Sebastian Bach fanatic, is enraged that a person is using canine symbols across the monuments to the renowned musician in their Eastern German city."
One critique remarked it as "thus dark from start to finish."
The writer's newest satirical book, "Zsömle Odavan", goes back to Magyarország.
The lead is elderly Józsi Kada, who has a hidden claim to the monarchy but has made every effort to vanish from the world.
