A review by swaggle
Baron Wenckheim's Homecoming by László Krasznahorkai

4.0

imagine a post modern twist on The Man Without Qualities but instead of being written about fin de siècle Vienna it is written about a post-apocalyptic Hungarian border town, and all the characters are mentally unwell or demented versions of themselves. I'm not intending to reduce this book by making this comparison, they are really only vaguely similar and will probably remind you more of Krazsnahorkai's other books than anything else. It's quite funny at times in a sardonic kind of way.
