Music & Literature No. 2

A global celebration of three of the most dynamic and starkly original artists working today. Music & Literature's second issue features new literature on and by László Krasznahorkai, Béla Tarr, and Max Neumann. This special volume presents, for the first time in English, an extensive selection of newly translated fiction spanning Krasznahorkai's 26-year career alongside an array of new appreciations and essays on his work by top critics and artists from around the world; a portfolio of photographs by cinematographer Gábor Medvigy, taken on-set while filming Tarr's masterpiece Sátántangó; and 24 new paintings by renowned German artist Max Neumann, who previously collaborated with Krasznahorkai on the chapbook Animalinside (New Directions Publishing & Sylph Editions, 2011). An essential volume for the aficionado and the casual fan alike, Issue 2 brings together an international community for a hearty nod to three of our finest living artists.
