The 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai for his compelling and visionary body of work that reaffirms the power of art amid apocalyptic terror.
His prose belongs to a Central European tradition of the absurd and grotesque: bleak, apocalyptic visions coexist with humour and unpredictability, while long, winding sentences create a distinctive rhythm. His major novels include Satantango, The Melancholy of Resistance, War & War and Baron Wenckheim’s Homecoming.
