From Wikipedia:
The World Goes On (Hungarian: Megy a világ) is a collection of twenty-one short stories by László Krasznahorkai. Originally published in Hungarian by Magvető in 2013, it was later translated to English by John Batki, Ottilie Mulzet, and George Szirtes and published in 2017 by New Directions Publishing.
The cover for the English edition was designed by Paul Sahre, who likes to slice up his type (see The Country Road and I Like Fun). This time, he repeated “The World Goes On” and the name of the Hungarian novelist and screenwriter six times, and cut through the lines horizontally. The title gradually disappears, the author emerges. The chosen typeface is Aperçu Bold. In 2017, it still was a leftfield sans from a hip indie foundry. Since the 2023 sale of Colophon, the font is another asset owned by Monotype.
László Krasznahorkai was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2025.
