The story in War & War is fascinating, but the writing surpasses even a story as inventive as this one..It is perhaps one of the most interesting technical accomplishments in any language... -- The Hyper Literate
eep in War and War may be a key to making sense of what happened on November 8th, 2016. -- Eileen Battersby - The Irish Times
Krasznahorkai writes with a measured and bizarre elegance...exquisite explorations of consciousness, perception and memory. -- Matthew Spellberg - Harvard Book Review
A seminal author of our time. -- David Auerbach - The Quarterly Conversation
I love Krasznahorkai's books. His long, meandering sentences enchant me, and even if his universe appears gloomy, we always experience that transcendence which to Nietzsche represented metaphysical consolation. -- Imre Kertesz
