KRASZNAHORKAI LASZLO THE LAST WOLF & HERMAN

FROM THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2025   In The Last Wolf   a philosophy
professor is mistakenly hired to write the true tale of the last wolf of Extremadura  a barren
stretch of Spain. His miserable experience is narrated in a single  rolling sentence to a
patently bored bartender in a dreary Berlin bar.   In Herman   a master trapper is asked to
clear a forest's last 'noxious beasts.' Herman begins with great zeal  although in time he
switches sides  deciding to track entirely new game... In Herman II   the same events are
related from the perspective of strange visitors to the region  a group of hyper-sexualised
aristocrats who interrupt their orgies to pitch in with the manhunt of poor Herman...  These
intense  perfect novellas  full of Krasznhorkai's signature sense of foreboding and dark irony
are perfect examples of his craft.   Translated by George Szirtes and John Batki
