A flight through Europe

A hunted protagonist moves south through Europe, evading assassins by adapting to changing terrain, blending into crowds, and taking ferries. The description frames the escape as a succession of immediate moments, with the past and any sense of continuation falling away as the pursuit presses on. The book also brings visual and musical elements into the reading experience: it includes full-color paintings by Max Neumann and music by Szilveszter Mikl. Together, these details present Chasing Homer as a chase narrative shaped around both movement across places and the urgency of staying ahead of danger.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction built around pursuit and escape.
  • Readers drawn to stories set across European locations.
  • Readers who value books incorporating visual art and music alongside text.

Book overview

In this thrilling chase narrative, a hunted being escapes certain death at breakneck speed--careening through Europe, heading blindly South. Faster and faster, escaping the assassins, our protagonist flies forward, blending into crowds, adjusting to terrains, hopping on and off ferries, always desperately trying to stay a step ahead of certain death: the past did not exist, only what was current existed--a prisoner of the instant, rushing into this instant, an instant that had no continuation...

Krasznahorkai--celebrated for the exhilarating energy of his prose--outdoes himself in Chasing Homer. And this unique collaboration boasts beautiful full-color paintings by Max Neumann and--reaching out of the book proper--the wildly percussive music of Szilveszter Mikl
