Seiobo There Below by László Krasznahorkai , Ottilie Mulzet (Translator)

Seiobo There Below by László Krasznahorkai , Ottilie Mulzet (Translator)Finalist for the 2015 Man Booker International Prize. Beauty, in Lszl Krasznahorkai's new novel, reflects, however fleeting, the sacred even if we are mostly unable to bear it. In Seiobo There Below we see the Japanese goddess Seiobo returning to mortal realms in search of perfection. An ancient Buddha being restored; the Italian renaissance painter Perugino managing his workshop; a Japanese Noh actor rehearsing; a fanatic of Baroque music lecturing
