Enough About Angels

László Krasznahorkai

£7.99

‘It may seem to you that I am standing here and speaking into a microphone, but I’m not’ begins László Krasznahorkai, delivering his 2025 Nobel Lecture to a rapt audience in Stockholm. In his mind, he explains, he is pacing the room, the room in the tower he is in, the tower that is only a tower because of the incline of the hill, all the while considering the presence of angels, the force of humanity and how, from our degraded current epoch, destruction might emerge – or rebellion.
