Summary note
Internationally celebrated Hungarian novelist László Krasznahorkai has been heralded by Susan Sontag as 'the Hungarian master of the apocalypse' and compared favourably to Gogol by W. G. Sebald. A new work by Krasznahorkai is always an event, and this book is no less. As part of the author's fellowship at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library, he has been working on a novella inspired by a reading of 'Moby-Dick'. Yet, as he follows in Herman Melville's footsteps, a second book alongside the novella took shape. This is that book.
Notes
