Hungarian Author László Krasznahorkai Awarded the Nobel Award in Literary Arts
Krasznahorkai was received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The Hungarian novelist was recognised "due to his gripping and visionary body of work that, in the midst of cataclysmic dread, asserts the strength of creative expression."
He has produced five novels and received numerous further writing awards, such as the 2015's Man Booker International Prize, and the 2013 finest rendered work honor in Fiction for his initial book Satantango, a avant-garde work concerning the conclusion of the planet.
The writer is the next Hungarian author to pick up the prize following the former Imre Kertesz, who won in 2002.
Originating in 1954, the author earned fame in 1985 when he published Satantango, which he converted for the big screen in the mid-1990s.
This monochrome movie, by Magyar director Bela Tarr, is famous for its lengthy duration.
His additional works include:
- "The Melancholy of Resistance" (1989)
- War & War (1999)
- Seiobo There Below (2008)
Nobel committee portrayed him as "a exceptional sweeping writer in the Central European heritage that extends through Franz Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is defined by absurdism and distorted extremity."
Krasznahorkai's 2021 work "Herscht 07769" has been called as a great present-day German story, because of its accuracy in illustrating the land's societal upheaval right before the global health crisis.
This is a portrayal of a modern village in Thüringen, the Federal Republic of Germany, plagued by social chaos, murder and incendiarism.

"The leader, a Johann Sebastian Bach fanatic, is incensed that an individual is using wolf emblems across the statues to the famed musician in their former GDR town."
One assessment noted it as "therefore dark from beginning to conclusion."
