Renowned Hungarian writer László Krasznahorkai has been announced as the recipient of the prestigious Spanish Formentor international literary award 2024. The five-member jury praised the Hungarian writer’s “maintenance of a narrative force that envelops, reveals, conceals and transforms the reality of the world,” his ability to build fascinating labyrinths of literary imagination, and his detailed, slow-paced style, which “reflects the creative energy of a literature completely alien to the industrial influence of entertainment (RCW Literaray Agency).
