Han Kang has won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature for her evocative prose that explores historic traumas and the fragility of human existence, emphasizing emotional depth.
The Nobel committee highlighted her work's characteristic double exposure of pain, linking mental anguish with physical suffering, showcasing a profound connection to Eastern philosophies.
This year's award highlights the continued challenge of gender representation in literature, as only 17 women have been recognized with the Nobel Prize in its history.
The literature prize remains significant not only for its monetary value of 11 million Swedish kronor but also for celebrating the powerful voices of marginalized authors.
