I can't believe we're already through the first month of 2026, but here we are. This month, Ian started us off with László Krasznahorkai's: Sátántangó. The Hungarian author was last year's Nobel Laureate, so we decided that we'd better take a look at his oeuvre. Sátántangó is a bleak novel that describes the lives of the people living on an "estate". The people lie, cheat, and steal from each other, wallowing in their own problems, until Irimiás, a man they thought dead returns. The residents think that he's going to better their lives, but Irimiás is a conman. Sátántangó is a difficult text, especially only having read it once, but upon discussing the text, had more to say than we thought. We hope you enjoy our discussion! Maybe you have your own theories about what is really going on in this book?
February's book is a classic: Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Brontë. Ronnie chose this one because Emerald Fennel's new movie!
