Magyar Writer László Krasznahorkai Receives the Nobel Prize in Literary Arts

László Krasznahorkai has received the Nobel Prize in Literary Arts.

This Magyar writer was honored "for his compelling and prophetic oeuvre that, during end-times dread, asserts the might of art."

The author has written five books and won many further writing honors, including the 2015 Booker International, and the 2013's best translated novel prize in Fiction for his debut book Satantango, a postmodern creation concerning the conclusion of the world.

He is the next Magyar writer to receive the prize after the deceased Imre Kertesz, who received in 2002.

Born in 1954, László Krasznahorkai earned recognition in 1985 when he released Satantango, which he transformed for the movies in 1994.

This black-and-white movie, by Hungarian cinematographer Tarr Bela, is famous for its lengthy length.

The author's other works consist of:

Melancholy of Resistance (the late 80s)
"War and War" (1999)
Seiobo There Below (2008)

The Nobel Prize in Literature portrayed the writer as "a great grand author in the European tradition that extends via Kafka to Bernhard Thomas, and is defined by absurdist themes and bizarre overindulgence."

Krasznahorkai's 2021 novel Herscht 07769 has been labeled as a significant present-day Deutsch story, because of its exactness in illustrating the land's social unrest just before the global health crisis.

It's a representation of a current small town in Thüringen, Deutschland, plagued by social anarchy, murder and arson.

"Gentle titan Florian is an ward, taken in by a neo-Nazi who has trained him as a street art remover.

"His employer, a Johann Sebastian Bach fanatic, is incensed that an individual is spraying canine emblems across the memorials to the renowned artist in their east German town."

One assessment noted it as "therefore grim from start to conclusion."

His most recent satirical work, "Zsömle Odavan", returns to the Hungarian setting.

The main character is elderly Józsi Kada, who has a confidential right to the monarchy but has gone to great lengths to vanish from the globe.
