Translators of László Krasznahorkai’s work (from Hungarian into foreign languages)

This list (in progress) has been compiled in a collective effort by members of MEGY (the Hungarian Translators’ Association), to mark the awarding of the Nobel Prize for Literature to László Krasznahorkai. The intention was to showcase the rich diversity of the translation community and the ongoing interest in Krasznahorkai’s fiction over the years. In most languages, there are several translators working in parallel, and there are notable collaborative translation efforts, too.  The list below contains the names of all translators who published work by Krasznahorkai in foreign languages that the association could identify to date, ranging from multiple volumes in dedicated author series to shorter excerpts that appeared in journals or online platforms. May the list continue and expand in the coming years!

Further information on Krasznahorkai’s work can be obtained via the author’s website, including a glimpse at the book covers of translations in various languages.
