The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to South Korean author Han Kang “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to South Korean author Han Kang “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”
The Nobel Prize on its X handle said that Kang’s work is “characterised by this double exposure of pain, a correspondence between mental and physical torment with close connections to Eastern thinking.” The Nobel Prize committee added: “In Han Kang’s short story , the male narrator, himself masked as a woman, is drawn to an enigmatic woman who has broken away from an impossible marriage. The narrative self remains silent when asked by his beloved: “If you were able to live as you desire, what would you do with your life?” There is no room here for either fulfilment or atonement.”
The literature prize has long been male-dominated. The last woman to win was Annie Ernaux of France, in 2022. Han Kang was born on November 27, 1970 in Gwangju as the daughter of novelist Han Seung-won. As a child she and moved to Suyuri in Seoul, the national capital. Her brother Han Dong Rim is also a writer.In an interview with The Guardian newspaper Han Kang said she knew she wanted to be a writer at 14. “I was looking for answers to fundamental questions. And then, as a reader, I realized every writer is seeking answers and they don’t have any conclusions, but they’re still writing.
