Satantango by Lszl Krasznahorkai
WINNER OF THE 2025 NOBEL PRIZE A dark, haunting masterpiece by the author of The Melancholy of Resistance and Seiobo There Below
"He offers us stories that are relentlessly generative and defiantly irresolvableThey are haunting, pleasantly weird, and, ultimately, bigger than the worlds they inhabit." -- The New York Times Book Review
"The excitement of Krasznahorkai's writing is that he has come up with his own original forms - and one of the most haunting is his first, Satantango. There is nothing else like it in contemporary literature." -- Adam Thirwell - The New York Review of Books
"Satantango is a monster of a novel: compact, cleverly constructed, often exhilarating, and possessed of a distinctive, compelling vision - but a monster nonetheless...The grandeur is clearly palpable." -- The Guardian
"Krasznahorkai is alone among European novelists now in his intensity and originality. One of the most mysterious artists now at work." -- Colm Tóibín
"Profoundly unsettling." -- James Wood - The New Yorker
"His inexhaustible yet claustrophobic prose, with its long, tight, weaving sentences, each like a tantalising tightrope between banality and apocalypse, places the author in a European tradition of Beckett, Bernhard, and Kafka." -- James Hopkin - The Independent
