Magyar Author Krasznahorkai László Awarded the Nobel Award in Literary Arts
László Krasznahorkai has received the prestigious Nobel in Literary Arts.
This Hungarian writer was celebrated "for his compelling and prophetic collection that, amidst end-times fear, confirms the might of literature."
Krasznahorkai has produced five novels and received countless other writing awards, for instance the 2015 International Booker Award, and the 2013's finest rendered book award in Narrative for his debut novel Satantango, a postmodern work regarding the finish of the planet.
He is the next Hungarian novelist to receive the award subsequent to the deceased Kertesz Imre, who won in 2002.
Brought into the world in 1954, László Krasznahorkai earned acclaim in 1985 when he issued Satantango, which he converted for the movies in the mid-1990s.
The black-and-white film, by Magyar cinematographer Béla Tarr, is renowned for its lengthy duration.
Krasznahorkai's additional books comprise:
- The Melancholy of Resistance (the late 80s)
- "War and War" (1999)
- Seiobo There Below (the 2000s)
The award body described Krasznahorkai as "a great grand writer in the European tradition that reaches via Kafka to Bernhard Thomas, and is marked by absurdist themes and grotesque extremity."
The author's 2021 novel Herscht 07769 has been labeled as a major contemporary Deutsch novel, owing to its accuracy in depicting the country's social upheaval right before the global health crisis.
It is a representation of a current village in Thüringen, Deutschland, plagued by social anarchy, murder and arson.
"Kind giant Florian is an parentless child, adopted by a far-right extremist who has apprenticed him as a wall writing eraser.
"The Boss, a Bach fanatic, is enraged that someone is spraying canine insignias across the memorials to the famed musician in their east German city."
One assessment described it as "therefore grim from start to conclusion."
His most recent mock-heroic book, "Zsömle Odavan", reverts to Magyarország.
The protagonist is elderly Józsi Kada, who has a hidden claim to the royal seat but has taken extreme measures to vanish from the globe.
