He got where did because he's butt buddies with the hungarian literary establishment and also because he's half-jewish, which isn't exactly a detriment when the hungarian literary establishment is like 80% jewish, like Spiró or Nádas. Eastern european literature is all about aping western trends decades after they were hot without even understanding those trends to begin with. Eastern european literature does not exist.

???? How can you make a statement like the one you just replied to without having read either of those authors? Do you think people look at a piece of covered piece of paper and say "Yeah it's done in the style of Vermeer"? You retarded fuck?

Calling someone a "Beckett wannabe" implies Beckett is very good and Krasznahorkai is very bad. As long as you believe that Beckett is very good, which does not require having read Beckett, then we can view the statement as a way to denigrate Krasznahorkai.

Krasznahorkai has stated Beckett's influence on him
