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*
László Krasznahorkai writes prose of breathtaking energy and
beauty. He manages to combine our most earthly concerns with large
cosmic questions. His tones and textures are filled with both risk
and certainty. He has elevated the novel form and is to be ranked
among the great European novelists
*Colm Toibin*
As the worthy winner of this year's Man Booker International prize,
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.
*The Guardian*
