Magyar Author Krasznahorkai László Receives Nobel Award in Literary Arts
The Hungarian writer has won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
This Magyar author was honored "due to his gripping and visionary body of work that, amidst end-times dread, confirms the might of art."
He has produced 5 works of fiction and garnered countless other literary honors, such as the 2015 International Booker Award, and the 2013's best translated book honor in Fiction for his first book "Satantango", a postmodern piece regarding the end of the globe.
The writer is the next Magyar author to pick up the prize subsequent to the former Imre Kertesz, who received in 2002.
Brought into the world in 1954, László Krasznahorkai earned fame in 1985 when he published "Satantango", which he transformed for the cinema in the mid-1990s.
This monochrome film, by Hungarian film-maker Tarr Bela, is famous for its seven-hour duration.
Krasznahorkai's further works comprise:
- Melancholy of Resistance (1989)
- "War and War" (1999)
- "Seiobo There Below" (2008)
The award body portrayed him as "a outstanding grand novelist in the Central European heritage that spans via Kafka to Bernhard Thomas, and is defined by absurdism and grotesque overindulgence."
His 2021 book "Herscht 07769" has been described as a great modern Deutsch book, owing to its precision in depicting the nation's societal upheaval prior to the COVID-19.
It is a representation of a contemporary small town in Thüringen, Germany, plagued by societal anarchy, killing and arson.

The writer's newest mock-heroic book, Zsömle Odavan, goes back to the Hungarian setting.
The main character is 91-year-old Uncle Kada, who has a hidden claim to the throne but has made every effort to disappear from the planet.
