“An inexorable, visionary book by the contemporary Hungarian master of apocalypse who inspires
comparison with Gogol and Melville. Krasznahorkai’s novel is both an anatomy of desolation, desolation at
its most appalling, and a stirring manual of resistance to desolation - trough inwardness.” Susan Sontag
