Hungarian wins Nobel literature prize
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Hungarian writer László Krasznahorkai has won the Nobel Prize in literature for work that upholds the power of art in the midst of “apocalyptic terror.” Some of his novels consist of just one long sentence. Several, including his debut “Satantango,” have been adapted into films. The Nobel judges on Thursday called Krasznahorkai “a great epic writer” whose work “is characterized by absurdism and grotesque excess.” The 71-year-old author is the first Hungarian winner of the Nobel literature prize since 2002. Krasznahorkai said he was “calm and very nervous” about the prize. It comes with an award of more than $1 million.
