Krasznahorkai’s shorter fiction shares the intense, concentrated style of his novels but in a more compressed form. These works range from artist collaborations like Animalinside to standalone novellas like The Last Wolf and Herman, which were published together in a single English-language volume in 2016.
The Manhattan Project (2017) and Chasing Homer (2019) are among his more recent shorter works. While briefer than his full-length novels, these pieces still feature his characteristic long sentences and themes of obsession, displacement, and the search for meaning in an indifferent world.
