In 2025, Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art". Let's see what that looks like. *GoodReads Summary:* A powerful, surreal novel, in the tradition of Gogol, about the chaotic events surrounding the arrival of a circus in a small Hungarian town. The Melancholy of Resistance, László Krasznahorkai's magisterial novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in a small Hungarian town. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the dead of winter, prompting bizarre rumours. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose in mind, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find - music, cosmology, fascism. The novel's characters are unforgettable: the evil Mrs. Eszter, plotting her takeover of the town; her weakling husband; and Valuska, our hapless hero with his head in the clouds, who is the tender center of the book, the only pure and noble soul to be found. Compact, powerful and intense, The Melancholy of Resistance, as its enormously gifted translator George Szirtes puts it, "is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type." And yet, miraculously, the novel, in the words of The Guardian, "lifts the reader along in lunar leaps and bounds."

Let's go bowling again together, this time at Strike in Howald! Bowling is great fun because none of us are very good at it, but it's a fun time especially as we chat around drinks and nibbles :) Strike does have other games available on-site, though for now I have only reserved the bowling. If you would like to play pool, darts, or shuffleboard while there, you can book it separately or we can inquire about availability when we get there. I've booked two lanes for two hours, and we can be up to 6 people per lane. I have already paid for the booking and shoe rentals, which comes out to 20€ per person. I can only know that you are 100% coming if you pre-pay, so please reach out to me privately for Payconiq, bank transfer, or Revolut details! Thanks!
