Rezensionen / Stimmen

Herscht 07769 is a work of genius, astonishingly well translated by Ottilie Mulzet: I can only imagine the labour and dedication involved in capturing the rhythms of Krasznahorkai's clauses, their strange and captivating music -- 5-star review * Telegraph * Remarkable * Times Literary Supplement * Propulsive and revelatory ... Krasznahorkai is a universalist cut loose from the shibboleths of humanism * The New York Times * A humane, compelling, intriguing novel ... comedic, if macabre, and cinematic * Scotsman * A beast of a book ... vanishingly rare and beguiling * Daily Mail * A novel that reaches for wonder and wisdom, and a paean to depth and meaning amid violence and death * Irish Times * Innovative to a fault * Guardian * A tour-de-force, satirical novel * Bristol Magazine * Praise for Laszlo Krasznahorkai * : * The contemporary master of the apocalypse -- Susan Sontag Krasznahorkai throws down a challenge: raise your game or get your coat ... the intensity of his commitment to the art of fiction is indisputable ... exhilarating, even euphoric -- Hari Kunzru Laszlo Krasznahorkai writes prose of breathtaking energy and beauty ... He has elevated the novel form and is to be ranked among the great European novelists -- Colm Toibin The universality of Krasznahorkai's vision rivals that of Gogol's Dead Souls and far surpasses all the lesser concerns of contemporary writing -- W.G. Sebald
