Who is László Krasznahorkai? Hungarian author wins Nobel Prize in Literature
Hungarian author wins 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature: Who is László Krasznahorkai? Know all about ‘Master of apocalypse’
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai on Thursday (October 9) “for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art.”
Who is László Krasznahorkai? ‘Master of the apocalypse'
László Krasznahorkai was born in 1954 in the small town of Gyula in southeast Hungary, near the Romanian border.A similar remote rural area is the scene of Krasznahorkai's first novel ‘Sátántangó', published in 1985 (‘Satantango', 2012), which was a literary sensation in Hungary and the author's breakthrough work.
American critic Susan Sontag had crowned Krasznahorkai contemporary literature's ‘master of the apocalypse'. This was after she read the author's second book Az ellenállás melankóliája (1989; The Melancholy of Resistance, 1998).
The Nobel Prize Committee described Krasznahorkai as a "great epic writer in the Central European tradition that extends through Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is characterised by absurdism and grotesque excess."
"But there are more strings to his bow, and he soon looks to the East in adopting a more contemplative, finely calibrated tone. The result is a string of works inspired by the deep-seated impressions left by his journeys to China and Japan," his biography read.
