This year the Nobel prize in Literature is awarded to South Korean author Han Kang “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”
The literature prize is awarded by The Swedish Academy in Stockholm.
Kang will receive the full prize.
Han Kang (born 1970, Gwangju, South Korea) won the Man Booker International Prize for fiction in 2016 for The Vegetarian, a novel about a woman's descent into mental illness and neglect from her family. She is the first Asian female Nobel Prize laureate in Literature. (source: Wikipedia)
