Nobel prize 2025: Who is Laszlo Krasznahorkai? The ‘master of apocalypse’ honoured with the Nobel prize in literature

Laszlo Krasznahorkai, the Hungarian novelist known for his labyrinthine sentences and apocalyptic vision, has won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy recognized his body of work for confronting chaos and finding meaning through art. His novels, often bleakly comic and hypnotically long, explore despair, beauty, and endurance in a world teetering on collapse.
