A Mountain to the North, A Lake to The South, Paths to the West, A River to the East by László Krasznahorkai

5.0

A meditative novella that explores the fragility of life, the creation of art and the journey towards aesthetic fulfillment. Set in the tranquility of a Kyoto monastery, the story follows a man's journey as he discovers the hidden meanings and beauty in the temple's architecture and art. The use of long, descriptive sentences takes the reader on a journey of their own, as they navigate the complexities and nuances of the author's prose. A sparsely populated work that delves into themes of Buddhism and the human condition, it offers a challenging but rewarding read.
