We congratulate Lรกszlรณ Krasznahorkai on winning the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature, for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art!
The world pauses to celebrate his extraordinary vision and voice today, as he joins the pantheon of literary greats. His work challenges us to reckon with chaos, beauty, and despair, and is a testament to literatureโs power to hold meaning together, even when everything seems to unravel.
