as posted by the channelThe Melancholy of Resistance by László Krasznahorkai - Summary & Analysis with Liza Libes
Welcome to Liza’s Book Club! Here at Pens and Poison, we love all things literature, but we also recognize that we all run busy lives and sometimes don’t always find the time to read—myself included! I’m here to remedy that by introducing the new Liza’s Book Club series, where we’ll commit to reading just one book a month and analyzing it together. Each month, I’ll read a book with you, and we’ll analyze it and discuss it at the end of the month. I’m excited to also have the chance to answer your questions about each of the books at hand, so don’t forget to email your questions about the books we’re reading to liza@pensandpoison.com.
For the month of October, we read The Melancholy of Resistance by László Krasznahorkai, a Hungarian work that comments on societal decay. You can access our Melancholy of Resistance study guide on my Substack below.
