Biography
L. Krasnachorki was born in Guula, Hungary on January 5, 1954 [18], and was the son of lawyer Guyorgi Krasnachorki and Social Security worker Júlia Pálinkás.
After graduating from Erkel Ferenc Gymnasium, he studied law from 1973 to 1976 at the University of Segent and from 1976 to 1978 at the University of Budapest. He then enrolled in the Department of Philology of the Second University and submitted a thesis on the work and experiences of Hungarian writer Sador Maray (1900–1989) after escaping from his country in 1948 to avoid the communist regime. During his study in Budapest, Krasnachorki worked on "Gondolat Könyvkiadó", a publishing house [18]. He finished his studies in 1983.
Immediately afterwards, he began to live as a writer. In 1985, with the success of the novel Sátántangó (= "Satan's Tago"), he jumped to the forefront of Hungarian literary life. This dystopian work is considered his most famous internationally, being awarded in his English translation (Best Translated Book Award 2013). [19]
He traveled for the first time outside Hungary (and in the western world) in 1987, spending a year in the then West Berlin as a Daad scholarship. After the collapse of the communist regimes in Europe, Krasnachorki lived in several different locations [19]. In 1990 he was able to spend some time in East Asia and came out of his experiences in Mongolia and China to write Urga's prisoner and destruction and sadness under the skies. He has returned to China several times [20].
In 1993 his novel The melancholy of the Resistance won the German Bessenliste-Prize for the best literary work of the year [19] [21]. Completing the War and War novel, he traveled a lot to Europe and was left to the influence of American poet Allen Ginsberg, living in his apartment in New York for a while and describing his advice "valuable" to complete his book [22].
In 1996, 2000 and 2005 he spent 6 months in Kyoto. His contact with the aesthetic and literary theory of the Far East has made significant changes in his style and themes [23], but has spent days or weeks in several other countries, such as the US, Spain and Greece [24], experiences that are chronicled in Seiobo's novel.
After 1985, the director and friend of the writer Bella Tarr filled films based on works by Krasnachorki, including Sátántangó [20].
Krasnachorki has received internationally good reviews for his work. Susan Sodag described him as "the modern Hungarian craftsman of the Revelation who draws comparison with Gogol and Melville". [19] BG Zebald wrote: "The world of his vision competes with that of Gogol's dead souls and far exceeds all the minor interests of modern writing."
Personal life
Krasnachorki lived for many years in Berlin, where he was a semester Visiting Professor at the Free University of Berlin, and today he lives "isolated in the hills of the village of Pilisszentlászló", in northern Hungary [27] in 1990 he was married to Aniko Polyhe. Sinologist and graphic designer Dora Kopcsányi. Krasnachorki has three children: Kata, Agnes and Emma (Panni).
Reviews
For the melancholy of resistance (1989):
“… The narrative voice and focus of the book change without warning, shifting from one person to another, once and in the middle of a proposal. Krasnachorki flirts with surrealism, but without ever completing the relationship. Its style is dense and history changes directions to the rhythm of social change, accelerated only by the power of gravity itself. Each paragraph lasts dozens of pages, reacting to shortcut ... "[28]
For war and war (1999):
"... The endless suggestions, which occupy whole pages or even chapters, the repetitions, the frequent alternations and the perspective of the narrative, the excessively detailed descriptions and the constant transcendence of the limit between logic and madness, make the" war " The flow of a paradoxical, deeply moving history, which deals with the very nature of man and the fate of each of his creation.
