Produktinformationen zu „The World Goes On (Third Edition) (ePub)“
Now in paperback, a transcendent and wide-ranging collection of stories by László Krasznahorkai: a visionary writer of extraordinary intensity and vocal range who captures the texture of present-day existence in scenes that are terrifying, strange, appallingly comic, and often shatteringly beautiful.Marina Warner, announcing the Booker International Prize
In The World Goes On, a narrator first speaks directly, then narrates a number of unforgettable stories, and then bids farewell (here I would leave this earth and these stars, because I would take nothing with me). As László Krasznahorkai himself explains: Each text is about drawing our attention away from this world, speeding our body toward annihilation, and immersing ourselves in a current of thought or a narrative... A Hungarian interpreter obsessed with waterfalls, at the edge of the abyss in his own mind, wanders the chaotic streets of Shanghai. A traveler, reeling from the sights and sounds of Varanasi, India, encounters a giant of a man on the banks of the Ganges ranting on and on about the nature of a single drop of water. A child laborer in a Portuguese marble quarry wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. The excitement of his writing, Adam Thirlwell proclaimed in The New York Review of Books, is that he has come up with his own original formsthere is nothing else like it in contemporary literature.
