Regarded as a 'master of the apocalypse,' the Hungarian writer, born in 1954, receives the honor 23 years after his compatriot Imre Kertesz.

La Academia Sueca premia al escritor “por su obra cautivadora y visionaria que, en medio del terror apocalíptico, reafirma el poder del arte”

The prize committee said the Hungarian writer’s work “reaffirms the power of art.”
