Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai has been honored with this year's Nobel Prize in Literature for his "compelling and visionary oeuvre." The award recognizes his work's profound exploration of apocalyptic themes and art's resilience. Krasznahorkai, known for novels like "Satantango" and "Herscht 07769," expressed a mixture of happiness and nervousness upon hearing the news while visiting Frankfurt. He is the second Hungarian to receive the prestigious literary award.
