This story is astounding - ambitious, long, and strange - and @harikunzru.bsky.social's interview contextualizes it wonderfully.
On the three-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, read a new short story by László Krasznahorkai, plus an interview between the author and @harikunzru.bsky.social on facing the reality of our present moment.
