It's amazing it took so long for a culture of dogs to produce at least one worthwhile writer.

Congrats on barely beating abos.

its backwards

i guess that's what i should expect from destitute publishers in a country that can only make art works about how depressing it is to be born a hungarian

What does the title translate to mate? It must have something to do with The Melancholy of Resistance; Eszter lives on Wenckheim avenue?

Baron Wenckheim returns home or smthg like that.

Nah, the Wenckheim family was a big thing in the area where Krasznahorkai grew up. They repopulated the area with slovaks and I think germans after the turks left. And basically owned every land here for a long time

Merry Christmas! Now that he's won the International Man Booker, I imagine most of his stuff will get translated sooner or later.

Im not Hungarian, and I wish I could be prideful of any anglo literature, but you guys do realize he's the only person consistently publishing good books in the entire world right now? No one has written a book as good as Krasznahorkai since Gravity's Rainbow 50-something years ago.
