We are delighted to share the news that Penguin Random House author Han Kang has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”
The Nobel Foundation writes, “In her oeuvre, Han Kang confronts historical traumas and invisible sets of rules and, in each of her works, exposes the fragility of human life. She has a unique awareness of the connections between body and soul, the living and the dead, and in her poetic and experimental style has become an innovator in contemporary prose.”
Published in the U.S. by Penguin Random House imprint Hogarth, Han Kang’s books include the International Booker Prize–winning The Vegetarian, Human Acts, The White Book, Greek Lessons, and the forthcoming novel We Do Not Part, on sale January 21, 2025.
