The grandson of Prince Genji lives outside of space and time and wanders the grounds of an old monastery in Kyoto. The monastery, too, is timeless, with barely a trace of any human presence. The wanderer is searching for a garden that has long captivated him. This novel by International Booker Prize winner Laszlo Krasznahorkai - perhaps his most serene and poetic work - describes a search for the unobtainable and the riches to be discovered along the way. Despite difficulties in finding the garden, the reader is closely introduced to the construction processes of the monastery as well as the geological and biological processes of the surrounding area, making this an unforgettable meditation on nature, life, history, and being.

He has elevated the novel form and is to be ranked among the great European novelists -- Colm Toibin The universality of Krasznahorkai' s vision rivals that of Gogol' s Dead Souls and far surpasses all the lesser concerns of contemporary writing -- W. G. Sebald Intensely thought-provoking * Los Angeles Review of Books *
