France – Le Monde (October 12, 2024) “Han Kang is the first South Korean to win this prize, an anomaly finally rectified as the literature of the Land of the Morning Calm has offered up numerous masterpieces and great authors translated worldwide for over half a century.” United States – The New York Times (October 11, 2024) “The awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Han Kang stands as yet another validation of the outsize soft power of the South Korean cultural juggernaut.” Spain – El Mundo (October 10, 2024) “The Nobel Prize in Literature being awarded to Han Kang is the latest proof of the power of Korean culture, which has been overwhelming the West for the past two decades with its innovative offerings.” United Kingdom – The Conversation (October 10, 2024) “… her work is innovative and arresting in both form and content. A worthy winner.” Germany – Die Tageszeitung (October 10, 2024) “The award is surprising but well deserved. Everyone … will find something new, different and fresh in Han Kang. However, Han Kang … always takes the stories one step further.” India – Hindustan Times (October 12, 2024) “Han Kang is the Picasso of novel writing. She takes the realistic novel, subverting it to make it her own.” Image sources: Government of the Republic of Korea / The New York Times (October 11, 2024) / Shutterstock
