The World Goes On by Laszlo Krasznahorkai
A new masterpiece from Europe's leading literary genius.
One of the great inventors of new forms in contemporary literature.. there is nothing else like it in contemporary literature -- Adam Thirwell * New York Review of Books *
This collection - a masterpiece of invention, utterly different from everything else - is hugely unsettling and affecting; to meet Krasznahorkai's characters, to read his breathless, twisting sentences, is to feel altered. * Guardian *
Stories of journeys that, whether undertaken or thwarted, arrive at transcendence. At the end there is only one way to go, in what has to be the most powerful page written so far this century. -- Paul Griffiths * TLS Books of the Year *
