Hungarian writer Laszlo Krasznahorkai has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature for “his relentless and visionary work that reaffirms the power of art even amid apocalyptic fear.”
Born in 1954 in the small town of Gyula, near Hungary’s border with Romania, Krasznahorkai is known for his dense, philosophical prose and long, flowing sentences that explore chaos, decay, and redemption.
