derek thompson (co-author of Abundance): this is the hardest i've burst out laughing in the middle of a nyt story in i dont even know how long

Laszlo Krasznahorkai Is Awarded
Nobel Prize in Literature
The prize committee said the Hungarian writer's work "reaffirms
the power of art."

His latest novel to appear in English is "Herscht 07769," published last year in the United States. The book, which unfolds in a single sentence, evokes fears about the rise of fascism in Europe, and imagines a graffiti cleaner in Germany who writes letters to Chancellor Angela Merkel to alert her to the world's impending destruction. It features only one period in its 400 pages.
