Satantango
Laszlo Krasznahorkai, George SzirtesIn the darkening embers of a Communist utopia, life in a desolate Hungarian town has come to a virtual standstill. Flies buzz, spiders weave, water drips and animals root desultorily in the barnyard of a collective farm. But when the charismatic Irimias – long-thought dead – returns to the commune, the villagers fall under his spell. The Devil has arrived in their midst. Satantango follows the villagers as they are exploited and taken in by Irimias; as they drink and stumble their way toward the gradual realization of their mistake and ultimate demise. In its measured prose and long, Tolstoyan sentences, Satantango is nothing short of a literary masterpiece; a formal meditation on death and avarice, human fallibility and faith.
"Laszlo Krasznahorkai is 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, 2015 International Man Booker Prize Judge
László Krasznahorkai, an innovative Hungarian writer, was announced as the sixth Man Booker International Prize winner in 2015. Krasznahorkai chose to split the prize between two translators; George Szirtes (who translated Satantango and The Melancholy of Resistance) and Ottilie Mulzet (who translated Seiobo There Below). Krasznahorkai is known for critically difficult and demanding novels, often labelled as postmodern, with dystopian and bleak melancholic themes.
