Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai has won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy recognized his "compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art." Known for his dystopian and melancholic novels like "Satantango," Krasznahorkai's work is characterized by long, intricate sentences and intense themes, drawing comparisons to literary giants such as Kafka and Melville. He will receive the award in Stockholm.
