they have utterly failed at their roles, including the village doctor who does nothing but observe the community from his window, documenting what he sees while drinking himself to death.\u00a0 Amidst this misery, rumor spreads that a former member of the community, absent for nearly a decade and whose departure is cast in an ambiguous light, has returned with promises of escape and progress.\u00a0 It is unclear whether his return will offer salvation or further damnation.\u00a0 Originally published in the twilight years of socialism in Hungary, it is easy to read <i>Satantango<\/i> as a novel about the failure of enforced communism.\u00a0 But the book and its themes of various failures\u2014of society, of time, of religion, of human compassion\u2014feel much more universal than that.<\/p>\n<p><i>Satantango <\/i>utilizes fascinating narrative techniques to explore this otherwise grim world, including an omniscient point of view at which any reader or writer of fiction will marvel.\u00a0 The reader cannot help but succumb to a sense of voyeurism that is unsettling yet delicious.\u00a0 One would like to call these narrative <i>pyrotechnics<\/i>, but this seems inappropriate given the soggy setting in which the novel takes place.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height:1.5em\">Instead, Krasznahorkai\u2019s language seeps into the characters\u2019 lives as insidiously as does the rain, augmenting the characters\u2019 discomforts and failures.\u00a0 And indeed the first thing a reader of Krasznahorkai notices are the sentences.\u00a0 They are long.\u00a0 They oscillate between imagery as dark and heavy as the Paleozoic muck upon which Central Europe rests and as light as the nearly invisible threads stitched by the farm\u2019s resident spiders.\u00a0 His prose itself has a habit of threading meticulous sensory details throughout the staging and actions of his characters, so that the entire world of the novel feels webbed together by language.\u00a0 Consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Autumnal horseflies were buzzing around the cracked lampshade, describing drowsy figures of eight in its weak light, time and again colliding with the filthy porcelain, so that after each dull little thud their bodies fell back into the magnetic paths they themselves had woven, to continue this endless cycle, albeit on a tight closed circuit until the light went out; but the compassionate hand that had the power to undertake such action was still supporting the unshaven face.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Krasznahorkai\u2019s sentences meander from point of view to point of view, sometimes beginning from the perspective of a room full of people and trickling down, over the course of half a page, into the point of view of the most minor creature in the room.\u00a0 His sentences also perform amazing leaps from the small, the mundanely micro, to enormous, elevated statements about not only the condition of the novel\u2019s characters but humankind\u2019s attempts to make sense of suffering in the world.\u00a0 Here is a single sentence from the second page of the book:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He gazed sadly at the threatening sky, at the burned-out remnants of a locust-plagued summer, and suddenly saw on the twig of an acacia, as in a vision, the progress of spring, summer, fall and winter, as if the whole of time were a frivolous interlude in the much greater spaces of eternity, a brilliant conjuring trick to produce something apparently orderly out of chaos, to establish a vantage point from which chance might begin to look like necessity\u2026and he saw himself nailed to the cross of his own cradle and coffin, painfully trying to tear his body away, only, eventually, to deliver himself\u2014utterly naked, without identifying mark, stripped down to essentials\u2014into the care of the people whose duty it was to wash the corpses, people obeying an order snapped out in the dry air against a background loud with torturers and flayers of skin, where he was obliged to regard the human condition without a trace of pity, without a single possibility of any way back to life, because by then he would know for certain that all his life he had been playing with cheaters who had marked the cards and who would, in the end, strip him even of his last means of defense, of that hope of someday finding his way back home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Krasznahorkai has been compared to Gogol and Beckett, in part referring to his sense of humor shining through the murk.\u00a0 At the center of the novel is a comically drunken evening in the village bar, during which the characters perform the titular dance (their first real interaction as a community that we see) that ends with the arrival of Irimi\u00e1s, their conspicuous \u201csavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Krasznahorkai has had a long creative and professional relationship with the Hungarian avant-garde filmmaker Bela Tarr, who based several of his films on Krasznahorkai\u2019s work\u2014including the seven-hour-long adaptation of <i>Satantango<\/i>.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019d recommend dashing out to rent the film without a deeper interest in either\u2019s work; however, some of the film\u2019s scenes, including the Satan\u2019s dance in the bar\u2014which stretches beyond ten minutes with little to no dialogue, only crazy, lilting accordion music\u2014are stunning in their ability to capture human interactions at their most desperate.<\/p>\n<p>Krasznahorkai, L\u00e1szl\u00f3.\u00a0 <i>Satantango<\/i>.\u00a0 New York: New Directions Press, 2012.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest installment of our\u00a0Recommended Reads\u00a0series, professor Jeff Frawley recommends\u00a0Satantango\u00a0by\u00a0\u00a0L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Krasznahorkai.
