Hello Gentle Reader
The Man Booker International Prize has announced this year’s winner. Joining the ranks of Ismail Kadare, Alice Munro and the late Chinua Achebe – László Krasznahorkai the Hungarian master of the apocalypse; and a Kafkaesque like prophet. The judges of this year’s award, compared to the works of Krasznahorkai of Kafka and Beckett, citing his works, as a step in the tradition of the absurd human condition, and the comedy of such trials. The judges have praised the writers, intensity and visionary scope of his work; especially his long winded and winding sentences, which eventually put one out of breath – or take it away. Yet Krasznahorkai is not a writer, who is unknown to awards – he won the Best Translated Book Award, twice in a row, and has gone on to achieve numerous awards and accolades – though each one is deserved.
Congratulations to László Krasznahorkai!
