Really interesting. Hadn't read any Krasznahorkai before this.
The format works for the looming dread and general atmosphere. Really liked some of the longer diatribes and pieces of things like Mr. Eszter's hyper-awareness of the hammer and nail, followed by this being intruded on for pages upon pages by his neighbors terrified recounting of the initial descent of the military on the town.
