A man believed dead returns to a declining settlement and awakens its inhabitants' hopes.
László Krasznahorkai places the longing for change inside a world that seems to have exhausted its alternatives. The appeal is the tension between expectation and susceptibility. Choose this for demanding, atmospheric fiction about a community waiting for deliverance and the power available to anyone who appears to offer it.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For readers drawn to character, language and the tensions within ordinary lives.
