Hungarian Author László Krasznahorkai Awarded Nobel Award in Literary Arts
László Krasznahorkai has awarded the Nobel Prize in Literary Arts.
This Magyar writer was honored "due to his gripping and prophetic collection that, in the midst of cataclysmic dread, reaffirms the strength of creative expression."
He has produced five novels and won numerous additional writing honors, for instance the 2015's International Booker Award, and the 2013's top rendered work award in Fiction for his first book Satantango, a avant-garde creation about the conclusion of the planet.
The writer is the second Hungarian novelist to pick up the prize subsequent to the deceased Kertesz Imre, who received in the year 2002.
Brought into the world in the mid-1950s, László Krasznahorkai earned acclaim in the mid-1980s when he issued Satantango, which he converted for the big screen in the mid-1990s.
This monochrome film, by Magyar cinematographer Tarr Bela, is renowned for its seven-hour duration.
His further books comprise:
- "The Melancholy of Resistance" (the late 80s)
- "War and War" (1999)
- Seiobo Below (2008)
The award body portrayed him as "an great epic author in the European tradition that extends by way of Franz Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is marked by absurdism and distorted overindulgence."
His recent book Herscht 07769 has been described as a significant modern German story, due to its exactness in depicting the country's communal turmoil right before the pandemic.
It's a portrayal of a modern village in Thüringen, Deutschland, troubled by social chaos, murder and arson.
"Gentle colossus Florian Herscht is an orphan, raised by a neo-Nazi who has trained him as a street art remover.
"The Boss, a Bach enthusiast, is furious that an individual is spraying wolf symbol symbols across the statues to the renowned composer in their Eastern German town."
A assessment remarked it as "thus grim from start to end."
Krasznahorkai's latest satirical novel, "Zsömle Odavan", goes back to the Hungarian setting.
The lead is elderly Józsi Kada, who has a confidential entitlement to the monarchy but has gone to great lengths to disappear from the world.
