Magyar Author László Krasznahorkai Awarded Nobel Award in Literature

Krasznahorkai was awarded the prestigious Nobel in Literature.

The Magyar author was honored "for his gripping and prophetic body of work that, during cataclysmic terror, confirms the might of creative expression."

He has produced 5 novels and garnered numerous other literary prizes, such as the 2015's Man Booker International Prize, and the 2013 finest translated book prize in Fiction for his first novel Satantango, a avant-garde work about the conclusion of the planet.

He is the next Hungarian novelist to receive the award after the former Imre Kertesz, who was awarded in the year 2002.

Born in the mid-1950s, the author gained fame in the mid-1980s when he released "Satantango", which he converted for the cinema in 1994.

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

His further novels include:

Melancholy of Resistance (the late 80s)
War and War (1999)
Seiobo Below (the 2000s)

The award body characterized him as "a exceptional epic writer in the Central Europe custom that spans by way of Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is characterised by the absurd and bizarre extremity."

The author's 2021 novel Herscht 07769 has been described as a significant contemporary German novel, due to its accuracy in depicting the country's communal turmoil right before the pandemic.

This is a representation of a contemporary small town in Thüringen, Germany, afflicted by social lawlessness, killing and arson.

"Gentle titan Herscht Florian is an parentless child, adopted by a far-right extremist who has mentored him as a graffiti remover.

"The Boss, a Bach devotee, is furious that an individual is applying wolf symbol symbols across the memorials to the renowned artist in their east German city."

One assessment remarked it as "accordingly grim from beginning to end."

His latest ironic novel, "Zsömle Odavan", reverts to Hungary.

The lead is ninety-one-year-old Uncle Józsi Kada, who has a hidden entitlement to the royal seat but has taken extreme measures to fade away from the planet.
