Items related to Animalinside: The Cahier Series 14
This cahier is the result of a collaboration undertaken specially for The Cahiers Series, between a writer and a painter. Hungarian novelist Laszlo Krasznahorkai, author of The Melancholy of Resistance and War & War, responds with fourteen texts to fourteen depictions of a strange and ill-formed creature made by his friend the renowned German painter Max Neumann. The texts speak from within the head of Neumann s creature that seems to be menacing existence itself; serving, as they do so, to confirm Susan Sontag s estimate of Krasznahorkai as The Hungarian Master of Apocalypse . All fourteen of Neumann s paintings are reproduced alongside the texts (translated by Ottilie Mulzet). The cahier is introduced with a preface by Irish novelist Colm Toibin.

Review:
"Excellent."--Scott Esposito "Washington Post " Excellent. --Scott Esposito "Washington Post "" "There's delight in response, a collaboration of painting and fiction in Neumann and Krasznahorkai's Animalinside. Book design becomes performance as character gains dimension through reinterpretation, passed back and forth from Neumann's paintings to Krasznahorkai's stories, requiring translation into and out of text and image in a continuous extension of drama."--Sarah Gerard "BOMB Magazine " "Animalinside is a series of short texts that alternate with paintings by Max Neumann. . . . The resulting chapbook is a rolling, menacing howl that sounds like the supplication of a pet at one moment and erupts into the fury of a savage beast the next." --Jennifer Szalai "London Review of Books " "Krasznahorkai's most recent work in English is not a novel but a collaboration between the writer and the German artist Max Neumann. Animalinside is a series of fourteen exquisite and enigmatic paintings, with paragraph-length texts by Krasznahorkai . . . . The pleasure of the book flows from its extraordinary, stretched, self-recoiling sentences, which are marvels of a loosely punctuated stream of consciousness." --James Wood "New Yorker " "Animalinside "is a series of short texts that alternate with paintings by Max Neumann. . . .
