The Melancholy of Resistance

From the opening pages of The Melancholy of Resistance, a slow, long train ride, we come face to face with an undetermined chaos, a mist, a confusion that gives the sense of a unique disquieting experience just at the turn of the page, above the ground and without grasp on the soil or the landscape. The sentences are meandering and the reader is levitating. Few prominent writers have described our unsettling state of affairs as well as Krasznahorkai. We find apesanteur in his writings as in the films of Bela Tarr.

"This is a book about a world into which the Leviathan has returned. The universality of its vision rivals that of Gogol's Dead Souls and far surpasses all the lesser concerns of contemporary writing." - W.G. Sebald
