/lit/ - Literature

I picked up this book in Budapest recently on the recommendation of a bookstore clerk. Quite amazed by it so far, somewhat difficult to read though since the sentences are very long and obtuse.

It's not that it's the writing is bad in any sense, it is just that getting a sense of what the author is trying to convey can be challenging at times. Perhaps its due to the loss of meaning or fluidity when translating into an inferior language like english.

In any case, what do you (the ones who even read here anymore.. ) think about this book and/or the author, László Krasznahorkai?

Also, hungarian literature thread or something, if any knowledgeable person is willing to pitch in.

Was László Krasznahorkai molested by a paragraph as a child?

It was pic related plus Hard to be a God and The Woman in the Dunes, how did I do?

Taking myself out. Enjoy it Stuart.

Can we talk about this book?

I thought it was amazing. Had a real dark atmosphere to it. Felt more akin to Bulgakov than to Gogol though, as I'd seen advertised.

And its as dense as I'd heard. The translator must have had the patience of a saint.

Is Krasznahorkai lit's current end-of-level-boss?
