February 4th Ink in Translation: 6.30pm A Mountain to the North... | Ink@84 Books Book and Ticket! A Mountain to the North, A Lake to The South, Paths to the West, A River to the East by LΓ‘szlΓ³ Krasznahorkai, translated from the Hungarian by Ottilie Mulzet * * * The grandson of Prince Genji lives outside of space and time and wanders the grounds of an old monastery in Kyoto. The monastery, too, is timeless, with barely a trace of any human presence. The wanderer is searching for a garden that has long captivated him.This novel by International Booker Prize winner LΓ‘szlΓ³ Krasznahorkai - perhaps his most serene and poetic work - describes a search for the unobtainable and the riches to be discovered along the way. Despite difficulties in finding the garden, the reader is closely introduced to the construction processes of the monastery as well as the geological and biological processes of the surrounding area, making this an unforgettable meditation on nature, life, history, and being.
