Magyar Writer László Krasznahorkai Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literary Arts
Krasznahorkai was won the Nobel Prize in Literary Arts.
This Magyar novelist was recognised "for his gripping and forward-thinking collection that, amidst end-times fear, asserts the power of art."
Krasznahorkai has produced 5 novels and garnered countless further writing awards, for instance the 2015's Man Booker International Prize, and the 2013 top rendered work prize in Narrative for his initial novel "Satantango", a postmodern piece concerning the conclusion of the world.
He is the next Magyar writer to receive the honor after the deceased Imre Kertesz, who won in 2002.
Originating in the mid-1950s, László Krasznahorkai obtained fame in the mid-1980s when he issued Satantango, which he converted for the cinema in the mid-1990s.
This b&w movie, by Hungarian film-maker Tarr Bela, is notable for its lengthy length.
His further novels comprise:
- Melancholy of Resistance (the late 80s)
- "War and War" (the late 90s)
- Seiobo Below (2008)
The award body portrayed the writer as "a great grand writer in the Central Europe heritage that reaches via Franz Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is characterised by absurdism and bizarre overindulgence."
Krasznahorkai's 2021 novel Herscht 07769 has been labeled as a major present-day German book, because of its accuracy in depicting the nation's communal turmoil right before the pandemic.
It is a portrayal of a modern small town in Thuringia, the Federal Republic of Germany, troubled by societal lawlessness, homicide and fire-setting.
"Gentle giant Florian is an parentless child, taken in by a far-right extremist who has apprenticed him as a wall writing eraser.
"His employer, a Johann Sebastian Bach devotee, is enraged that a person is using wolf symbol emblems across the statues to the famed musician in their Eastern German city."
One assessment remarked it as "thus dark from start to finish."
His most recent ironic book, Zsömle Odavan, returns to Magyarország.
The protagonist is elderly Uncle Kada, who has a secret right to the monarchy but has made every effort to vanish from the world.
