The prize is awarded by the Swedish Academy and is worth 11 million Swedish crowns
STOCKHOLM - South Korean author Han Kang won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature for "her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life", the award-giving body said on Thursday.
Han Kang had not been widely backed, though South Korean poet Ko Un has been regularly tipped to win the prize in recent years and was again among those seen as in with a chance. In an interview with the Booker Prizes published last year, Han Kang described how the writing of "The Vegetarian" had been a difficult period in her life where she questioned whether should be able to finish the novel or even survive as an author.
In "We Do Not Part", her latest novel due to be published in English in 2025, Han Kang "conveys the power of the past over the present". The literature prize is the most accessible of the Nobels for many and, as such, the Academy's choices are met with praise and criticism, often in equal measure.
