László Krasznahorkai, a Hungarian novelist known for his dark, apocalyptic novels, has won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Nobel Committee recognized his "compelling and visionary oeuvre" that "reaffirms the power of art" amidst terror. Krasznahorkai's acclaimed works, characterized by absurdism and grotesque excess, explore human existence in a godless world through dense, complex prose. His award highlights his significant contribution to contemporary literature, previously described as "rare currency" by critics.
