Seiobo There Below (Ndp; 1280)

From the winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize

The latest novel from â€œthe contemporary Hungarian master of the apocalypseâ€ (Susan Sontag)

Seiobo â€” a Japanese goddess â€” has a peach tree in her garden that blossoms once every three thousand years: its fruit brings immortality. In Seiobo There Below, we see her returning again and again to mortal realms, searching for a glimpse of perfection. Beauty, in Krasznahorkaiâ€™s new novel, reflects, however fleetingly, the sacred â€” even if we are mostly unable to bear it. Seiobo shows us an ancient Buddha being restored; Perugino managing his workshop; a Japanese Noh actor rehearsing; a fanatic of Baroque music lecturing a handful of old villagers; tourists intruding into the rituals of Japanâ€™s most sacred shrine; a heron hunting.â€¦ Over these scenes and more â€” structured by the Fibonacci sequence â€” Seiobo hovers, watching it all.
