I am simultaneously entranced and horrified at the idea of a book-length run-on sentence. I must experience this!

All the rules you learned in English class, when applied, actually lower your chances of an award winning work

Highly recommend A Mountain to the North. It’s meditative, unique and short.

Had no idea that Werkmeister Harmonies was also based on one of his books. Have to read!

As a hungarian I'm so ashamed I have not yet read anything by him so far. Planning to start with one of his short story collections, Seiobo There Below, which examines the place of beauty and art in our society. He's coming out with a new book later this year, heard an interview with his editor that the publisher has to work around the clock to have more copies published 😅

Sounds like his works would be a real bear to translate. Fortunately Szirtes seems up to the task. Krasznahorkai apparently selected Szirtes himself based on Szirtes' own body of work.

"sz" is pronounced like "s" in Hungarian.

As soon as Satantango popped up a lot of things started to make sense. To be fair, I've only gotten a third of the way through the adaptation 🤷‍♀

I really couldn’t decide between Satantango & Schattenfroh but once I finish Schattenfroh I’ll try Satantango

Why You Should Go Read :
I went to get Satantango and was disturbed at the lack of paragraph breaks… need to break into him somehow. Thanks as always for pointing us in the right direction Lawrence!!

A quick read because there’s nowhere to stop! 😭 Now I’m seeing chapter breaks as speed bumps, working against me as I try to finish my novels in time!
