Nobel Literature Laureate Krasznahorkai Delivers Rare Lecture in Stockholm
Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai, who recently won the Nobel Prize in Literature, delivered a rare public lecture in Stockholm. Known for his surreal and anarchic novels, Krasznahorkai's lecture was part of the Nobel week events in Stockholm and Oslo, where laureates engage in public appearances before receiving their awards. His lecture, delivered in Hungarian, touched on themes such as human dignity, hope, and rebellion, and included observations of a tramp on the Berlin subway. Krasznahorkai expressed a shift from discussing hope to focusing on 'angels,' describing them as beings without wings or messages, reflecting a bleak worldview. The Nobel committee praised Krasznahorkai as a 'great epic writer' with works characterized by absurdism and grotesque excess.
