Hungarian Author Wins Nobel Prize for Literature

The 2025 Nobel Prize for Literature has been awarded to Hungarian writer László Krasznahorkai. Krasznahorkai is recognized for his debut novel 'Saturn Tango' as well as his other acclaimed works 'the melancholy of resistance' and 'barren Wenckian homecoming'. His fiction is noted for its "long, hypnotic sentences that mimic chaos itself, spiraling through despair, faith and absurdity."

The decision puts an end to widespread online speculation of a possible second Nobel Prize for India, with strong predictions favoring writers Amitabh Ghosh and Salman Rashidi. India's last and only Nobel for literature was awarded to Rabindranath Tagore for his work 'Gitanjali' in 1913. While the literary community congratulates Hungary on this prestigious honor, the wait for another Nobel continues for India.
