Laszlo Krasznahorkai has been called the "Hungarian master of the

self-recoiling sentences" by James Wood. Krasznahorkai has won the America
Award in Literature (2014), the Best Translated Book Award for
*Satantango*<http://ndbooks.com/book/satantango> (2013),
the Brücke-Berlin Prize (2010), and numerous other international awards.
His most recent translation into English, *Seiobo There Below
<http://ndbooks.com/book/seiobo-there-below>*, has been shortlisted for the
2014 Best Translated Book Award. Krasznahorkai was invited to Columbia
University as part of the Harriman Institute’s Contemporary Writers Series.
During his residency, Krasznahorkai is teaching a month-long seminar on his
own work and his artistic collaboration with the Hungarian film director,
Béla Tarr, and the German painter, Max Neumann.

This event is made possible with the generous support of the Harriman
Institute, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and the East
Central European Center at Columbia University, and the American Hungarian
Library and Historical Society.
