The 2024 Nobel prize in literature was awarded on Thursday to South Korean novelist Han Kang, whose works include The Vegetarian, The White Book, Human Acts and Greek Lessons.
The Nobel commitee praised Kang’s “intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life”.
Han’s novels, novellas, essays and short story collections have explored themes such as patriarchy, violence, grief and humanity.
We want to hear from readers. What does Han Kang’s literature mean to you? How does it relate to your life?
