KRASZNAHORKAI LÁSZLÓ HERSCHT 07769

A  WASHINGTON POST  NOTABLE BOOK OF 2024   A  PUBLISHERS WEEKY  BEST BOOK OF 2024   The gentle
giant Florian Herscht has a problem: having faithfully attended Herr Köhler's adult education
classes in physics  he is convinced that disaster is imminent. And so  he embarks upon a
one-sided correspondence with Chancellor Angela Merkel  to convince her of the danger of the
complete destruction of all physical matter. Otherwise  he works for the Boss (the head of a
local neo-Nazi gang)  who has taken him under his wing and gotten him work as a graffiti
cleaner and also a one-room apartment in the small eastern German town of Kana. The Boss is
enraged by a graffiti artist who  with wolf emblems  is defacing all the various monuments to
Johann Sebastian Bach in Thuringia. A Bach fanatic and director of an amateur orchestra  he is
determined to catch the culprit with the help of his gang  and Florian has no choice but to
join the chase. The situation becomes even more frightening  and havoc ensues  when real wolves
are sighted in the area...   Written in one cascading sentence with the power of atomic
particles colliding  Krasznahorkai's novel is a tour de force  a morality play  a blistering
satire  a devastating encapsulation of our helplessness when confronted with the moral and
environmental dilemmas we face.
