'Baron Wenkcheim's Homecoming is a fitting capstone to
Krasznahorkai's tetralogy, one of the supreme achievements of
contemporary literature. Now seems as good a time as any to name
him among our greatest living novelists.' Paris Review Hailed
internationally as perhaps the most important novel of the young
twenty-first century, Baron Wenckheim's Homecoming is the
culmination of Laszlo Krasznahorkai's remarkable and singular
career. Nearing the end of his life, Baron Bela Wenckheim decides
to return to the provincial Hungarian town of his birth. Having
escaped from his many casino debts in Buenos Aires, where he was
living in exile, he wishes to be reunited with his high-school
sweetheart Marika. What follows is an endless storm of gossip, con
men and local politicians, vividly evoking the small town's
alternately drab and absurd existence. Spectacular actions are
staged, death and the abyss loom, until finally doom is brought
down on the unsuspecting residents of the town. 'I've said a
thousand times that I always wanted to write just one book. Now,
with this novel, I can prove that I really wrote just one book in
my life. This is the book - Satantango, Melancholy, War & War,
and Baron. This is my one book.' Laszlo Krasnahorkai
