Reviews

"The universality of its vision rivals that of Gogol's Dead Souls." -- W. G. Sebald "An inexorable, visionary book by the contemporary Hungarian master of apocalypse who inspires comparison with Gogol and Melville." -- Susan Sontag "In Krasznahorkai's deft hands, the effect is a layered, freewheeling, amazingly persuasive tour of living human consciousness, in varied states of self-awareness." -- Chris Lehmann - Newsday "Krasznahorkai's artistry merits serious notice. May further translations grant him the wider notice he deserves among English-speaking readers." -- Review of Contemporary Literature "Ingeniously composed and fascinating." -- Kirkus Reviews "The Melancholy of Resistance is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type." -- George Szirtes "Lifts the reader along in lunar leaps and bounds." -- The Guardian "One of the great novels of the last quarter-century - like a MittelEuropean Moby Dick." -- Garth Risk Hallberg - The Millions
