Biography
László Krasznahorkai (born January 5, 1954) is a Nobel Prize-winning Hungarian novelist and screenwriter. He is known for difficult and demanding novels, often labelled postmodern, with dystopian and melancholic themes. Several of his works, notably his novels Satantango (Sátántangó, 1985) and The Melancholy of Resistance (Az ellenállás melankóliája, 1989), have been turned into feature films by Hungarian film director Béla Tarr.
