Magyar Author László Krasznahorkai Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature
The Hungarian writer has awarded the prestigious Nobel in Literature.
This Magyar author was celebrated "due to his compelling and visionary collection that, in the midst of end-times fear, asserts the strength of literature."
He has written five novels and won many additional writing prizes, for instance the 2015 International Booker Award, and the 2013 best rendered work award in Narrative for his initial novel Satantango, a contemporary creation regarding the end of the planet.
Krasznahorkai is the next Magyar novelist to receive the award subsequent to the late Imre Kertesz, who won in 2002.
Brought into the world in 1954, the author gained fame in 1985 when he released Satantango, which he transformed for the big screen in the mid-1990s.
This b&w movie, by Hungarian cinematographer Tarr Bela, is famous for its 7-hour duration.
Krasznahorkai's further novels consist of:
- Melancholy of Resistance (1989)
- War and War (the late 90s)
- Seiobo Below (2008)
Nobel committee portrayed him as "a exceptional epic author in the Central Europe custom that reaches through Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is defined by absurdist themes and grotesque overindulgence."
The author's recent work Herscht 07769 has been called as a significant contemporary German story, because of its precision in illustrating the nation's social turmoil prior to the global health crisis.
It's a representation of a modern village in Thuringia, the Federal Republic of Germany, plagued by social lawlessness, killing and fire-setting.
"Kind titan Herscht Florian is an parentless child, taken in by a radical who has mentored him as a street art remover.
"The leader, a Bach devotee, is furious that someone is using wolf symbol insignias across the memorials to the renowned artist in their Eastern German city."
One critique described it as "accordingly bleak from start to conclusion."
His newest ironic work, Zsömle Odavan, returns to the Hungarian setting.
The main character is ninety-one-year-old Uncle Józsi Kada, who has a secret claim to the throne but has made every effort to vanish from the globe.
