The Last Wolf reveals what a light-footed and lucid writer
Krasznahorkai is, how he entertains as well as disturbs. The book
is an excellent short introduction to his fiction, much as
Metamorphosis is to Kafka ... Krasznahorkai's method is to examine
reality "to the point of madness" and he does so with majestic
style and black comedy.
*Financial Times*
Unforgettably visceral and beautiful
*Observer*
Together, The Last Wolf and Herman raise a set of spiritual
questions that affirms their author as one of the most important -
and eccentric - writers working today.
*Spectator*
Melancholy, fantastical and entirely original ... seductive and
comical, too
*Guardian*
Exquisite ... claustrophobic, exhilarating and tinged with fatal
comedy
*New Statesman*
Wonderful ... perfectly judged
*Sunday Times*
A visionary writer of extraordinary intensity and vocal range who
captures the texture of present day existence in scenes that are
terrifying, strange, appallingly comic and often shatteringly
beautiful ... magnificent works of deep imagination
*Man Booker International Prize citation*
The Last Wolf is a great introduction to the world of László
Krasznahorkai. Enter here and keep going.
*Sjón*
[Krasznahorkai has] a magnificently strange and hypnotic way of
thinking.
