A review by jmatthiass
The World Goes On by László Krasznahorkai

3.0

A bit of a disappointing book from one of my all-time favorites. Like a lesser Seiobo There Below. Where that book concerned itself with beauty and used precise (yet sprawling) language to drive home the transcendental, this one feels sloppier and more mired in the world today (a number of texts read like essays on society at present), meaning that its conclusions and insights are necessarily a bit less striking. Not “big” enough, even though it tries.
