| Satantango |
This novel is the source of Bela Tarr's 415-minute black-and-white masterpiece of the same title, adapted with the author and released about a decade later. The Melancholy of Resistance, a subsequent novel by the same author, which has already been translated into English (by the brilliant George Szirtes; New Directions, 2000), evinces a stylistic similarity to Thomas Bernhard. Satantango is a ferocious piece of sarcasm, traversing the same day from various viewpoints lik a Faulkner novel while recounting the last bitter gasps of a failed farm collective and everything its members do to betray one another.
Recommended by Jonathan Rosenbaum.
