“In the fictions of László Krasznahorkai, everything is withheld and nothing is disclosed...The feeling this elicits in the reader, in turn, in one of permanent approach, like the trudge across a vast expanse toward a distant village that never seems to get any closer. This is not the work of authorial malice, but an earnest attempt to conscript the reader to share in mutual incomprehensibility, the abject failure at true knowledge that belongs equally to all humanity.” - Jared Marcel Pollen, Astra Magazine – A quiet, poetic, and exquisitely gorgeous novel describing a wandering mythic figure in a Kyoto monastery, by the National Book Award winner László Krasznahorkai. – Grab a copy at your local independent bookstore.
