Spadework for a Palace bears the subtitle Entering the Madness of Others" and offers an epigraph: "Reality is no obstacle." Indeed . This high-octane obsessive rant vaults over all obstacles, fueled by the idees fixe of a "gray little librarian" with fallen arches whose name - mr herman melvill - is merely one of the coincidences binding him to his lodestar Herman Melville ("I too resided on East 26th Street... I, too, had worked for a while at the Customs Office"), which itself is just one aspect of his also being " constantly conscious of his connectedness" to Lebbeus Woods, to the rock that is Manhattan, to the "drunkard Cowley" and his Lunar Caustic, to Bartok. And with this consciousness of connection he is not only gaining true knowledge of Melville but also tracing the paths to "a Serene Paradise of Knowledge." Driven to save that palace (a higher library he also serves), he loses his job and his wife leaves him, but " people must be told the truth ": THERE IS NO DUALISM IN EXISTENCE. And his dream, in fact, will be "realized, for I am not giving up: I am merely a day-laborer, a spade-worker on this dream, a herman melvill, a librarian from the lending desk, currently an inmate at Bellevue, but at the same time - may I say this? - actually a Keeper of the Palace." ".

Laszlo Krasznahorkai, Books, The Last Wolf & Herman, The Last Wolf (translated by George Szirtes) is Krasznahorkai in a maddening nutshell - it features a classic obsessed narrator, a man hired (by mistake) to write the true tale of the last wolf in Spain. This miserable experience (being mistaken for another person, dragged about a cold foreign place, and appalled by a species's end) is narrated - all in a single sentence - as a sad looping tale, a howl more or less, in a dreary Berlin bar to a patently bored bartender. Herman (translated by John Batki), a peerless virtuoso of trapping who guards the splendid mysteries of an ancient craft gradually sinking into permanent oblivion, is asked to clear a forest's last noxious beasts.
