Gyula, Hongarije, in 1954, maakte voor het eerst indruk met zijn debuutroman uit 1985 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2012\/may\/09\/satantango-laszlo-krasznahorkai-review\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Satanisch<\/a>een somber en betoverend portret van een instortende plattelandsgemeenschap. De roman zou bijna drie decennia later, in 2013, de prijs voor beste vertaalde boek in het Engels winnen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Krasznahorkai, vaak omschreven als postmodern, staat bekend om zijn lange, kronkelende zinnen, dystopische en melancholische thema&#8217;s, en het soort meedogenloze intensiteit dat critici ertoe heeft gebracht hem te vergelijken met Gogol, Melville en Kafka. S\u00e1t\u00e1ntang\u00f3 werd op beroemde wijze aangepast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2000\/oct\/07\/books.guardianreview\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">een zeven uur durende film<\/a> door regisseur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2000\/oct\/07\/books.guardianreview\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">B\u00e9la Tarr<\/a>met wie Krasznahorkai een lange creatieve samenwerking heeft gehad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Krasznahorkai&#8217;s carri\u00e8re werd zowel door reizen als door taal bepaald. Hij verliet het communistische Hongarije voor het eerst in 1987, bracht een jaar door in West-Berlijn voor een fellowship, en liet zich later inspireren door Oost-Azi\u00eb \u2013 met name Mongoli\u00eb en China \u2013 voor werken als The Prisoner of Urga en Destruction and Sorrow Beneath the Heavens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Terwijl hij aan War and War werkte, reisde hij veel door Europa en woonde hij een tijdje in het appartement van Allen Ginsberg in New York, waarbij hij de steun van de legendarische Beat-dichter beschreef als cruciaal voor het voltooien van de roman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Zijn bewonderaars zijn formidabel: Susan Sontag noemde hem \u2018de hedendaagse Hongaarse meester van de Apocalyps\u2019, terwijl WG Sebald de universaliteit van zijn visie prees. In 2015 werd Krasznahorkai de eerste Hongaarse schrijver die de Man Booker International Prize won.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\"

Pynchon<\/strong> vandaag wint (de bookmakers hebben hem 16\/1), zal het zijn alsof je de Nobelprijs aan een geest toekent \u2013 \u200b\u200bhij is fel en beroemd teruggetrokken. De 88-jarige weigerde ooit een National Book-prijs uit 1974 voor Gravity&#8217;s Rainbow in ontvangst te nemen en stuurde in plaats daarvan een cabaretier als stand-in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Er zijn maar weinig foto&#8217;s van Pynchon ooit gepubliceerd, en geruchten over zijn identiteit en verblijfplaats doen al tientallen jaren de ronde. In 2004 maakte hij zijn enige veelbesproken mediacameo: in The Simpsons. Zijn geanimeerde zelf leek een papieren zak over zijn hoofd te dragen (een knipoog naar zijn ongrijpbaarheid) \u2013 en hij monteerde zelfs zijn eigen script, waarbij hij eiste dat Homer geen \u2018dikzak\u2019 werd genoemd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Toen CNN hem in 1997 filmde, vroeg hij hen de beelden niet uit te zenden, en grapte: &#8220;Mijn overtuiging is dat &#8216;kluizenaar&#8217; een codewoord is dat door journalisten is gegenereerd, wat betekent: &#8216;praat niet graag met verslaggevers'&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Dus als de Nobelprijs naar Pynchon gaat, verwacht dan geen dankwoord op televisie.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;books\/live\/2025\/oct\/09\/nobel-prize-in-literature-2025-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-68e78eb18f08a99f04926ced&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-68e78eb18f08a99f04926ced&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Nobel prize in literature 2025 live: L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Krasznahorkai wins \u2018for his compelling and visionary oeuvre\u2019&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:3},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Nobel prize in literature 2025 live: L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Krasznahorkai wins \u2018for his compelling and visionary oeuvre\u2019&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/live\/2025\/oct\/09\/nobel-prize-in-literature-2025-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-68e78eb18f08a99f04926ced#block-68e78eb18f08a99f04926ced\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Deel<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-68e783518f0871610d00704e\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1wl2b6o\">Mogelijke winnaar: Haruki Murakami<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"dcr-16bg4qr\">Emma Loffhagen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Weinig namen zijn zo nauw verbonden met de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/nobel-prize-literature\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Nobelprijs voor de literatuur<\/a> zonder het ooit (nog) te winnen als Haruki Murakami. De Japanse romanschrijver, essayist en vertaler is al jaren een favoriet bij bookmakers, dankzij een groot wereldwijd lezerspubliek en een unieke literaire stem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Murakami, geboren in 1949 in Kyoto, begon relatief laat met schrijven. Hij runde een jazzbar in Tokio voordat hij in 1979 zijn debuutroman Hear the Wind Sing publiceerde. Het won de Gunzou Literatuurprijs en lanceerde een carri\u00e8re die hem tot een van de meest gelezen auteurs ter wereld zou maken.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"d3599b0d-a6a6-4052-923c-b11ae89da52c\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-fd61eq\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Haruki Murakami in Tokio, 2018.<\/span> Foto: Newscom\/Alamy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Murakami&#8217;s werk combineert het alledaagse met het surrealistische, waarbij hij vaak eenzame, introspectieve karakters volgt terwijl ze zweven tussen de gewone realiteit en vreemde, droomachtige werelden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Zijn bekendste romans zijn onder meer Norwegian Wood (1987), een doorbraak die hem tot een literaire ster in Japan maakte; De opwindvogelkroniek (1994); Kafka aan de kust (2002); en 1Q84 (2009). Zijn fictie bevat jazz, katten, waterputten, verdwijningen en stille obsessies, elementen die direct herkenbare Murakami-signaturen zijn geworden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Murakami is een productief vertaler van Amerikaanse schrijvers als Raymond Carver en F Scott Fitzgerald en heeft lange tijd een brug geslagen tussen culturen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Hoewel Murakami immens populair is bij de lezers, is Murakami&#8217;s relatie met het Japanse literaire establishment soms ingewikkeld geweest. Er is kritiek op hem geleverd omdat hij &#8216;on-Japans&#8217; was, wat ertoe leidde dat de auteur beweerde dat hij een &#8216;zwart schaap in de Japanse literaire wereld&#8217; was. De Nobelprijs is hem ontgaan, ondanks eeuwige voorspellingen. Wel ontving hij talloze onderscheidingen, waaronder de Franz Kafka-prijs (2006), de Jerusalem-prijs (2009) en de Hans Christian Andersen-literatuurprijs (2016).<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;books\/live\/2025\/oct\/09\/nobel-prize-in-literature-2025-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-68e783518f0871610d00704e&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-68e783518f0871610d00704e&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Nobel prize in literature 2025 live: L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Krasznahorkai wins \u2018for his compelling and visionary oeuvre\u2019&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:3},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Nobel prize in literature 2025 live: L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Krasznahorkai wins \u2018for his compelling and visionary oeuvre\u2019&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/live\/2025\/oct\/09\/nobel-prize-in-literature-2025-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-68e783518f0871610d00704e#block-68e783518f0871610d00704e\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Deel<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/p>\n<p>Bijgewerkt op <time datetime=\"2025-10-09T10:55:44.000Z\" data-locale=\"en-gb\" title=\"Thursday, 9 October 2025 at 12:55 Central European Summer Time\">12.55 uur<\/time><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container ad-slot-desktop dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<article id=\"block-68e7817b8f08e1d65d2a5cfc\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1wl2b6o\">Wie is de favoriet van de bookmakers, Can Xue?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"dcr-dzkvsd\">\n<div class=\"dcr-uae6pk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03\/Ella_Creamer.png?width=300&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=8b5ed47a1fba950cb57020b7cac99d0b\" alt=\"Ella Roomer\" class=\"dcr-lysqes\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"dcr-sa35sa\">Ella Roomer<\/span><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">De experimentele Chinese auteur is al jaren op rij de favoriet van de bookmakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Ze heeft al enige internationale erkenning gekregen, nadat ze in 2019 en 2021 op de longlist stond voor de International Booker Prize, eerst voor haar roman Love in the New Millennium, vertaald door Annelise Finegan Wasmoen, en vervolgens voor haar korte verhalenbundel I Live in the Slums, vertaald door Karen Gernant en Chen Zeping.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"005f4574-1f17-4487-a248-132e451fe44d\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-fd61eq\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Can Xue op het Edinburgh International Book Festival in augustus 2019.<\/span> Foto: Simone Padovani\/Awakening\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Can Xue, wiens echte naam Deng Xiaohua is, werd in 1953 geboren in Changsha, in de provincie Hunan.

Toen de Academie aankondigde hem te eren \u2018omdat hij nieuwe po\u00ebtische uitdrukkingen heeft gecre\u00eberd binnen de grote Amerikaanse liedtraditie\u2019, was de reactie onmiddellijk en polariserend. Fans noemden de beslissing baanbrekend en erkenden songwriting als een legitieme literaire kunst. Critici vroegen zich echter af of een muzikant een onderscheiding zou moeten ontvangen die traditioneel voorbehouden is aan romanschrijvers, dichters en toneelschrijvers. Dylans aanvankelijke stilte en zijn besluit om de ceremonie niet bij te wonen, verhevigden het debat alleen maar.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"65740f14-cbe6-42b1-88f9-a8b1fd3d11ec\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-fd61eq\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Onverwachte winnaar\u2026 Bob Dylan.<\/span> Foto: Bettmann\/Bettmann-archief<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Een paar jaar later, in 2019, ging de prijs naar <strong>Peter Handke, <\/strong>de Oostenrijkse romanschrijver en toneelschrijver. Het besluit kreeg felle kritiek vanwege Handke&#8217;s publieke steun voor Slobodan Milo\u0161evi\u0107 en opmerkingen waarin Servische oorlogsmisdaden tijdens de Joegoslavische oorlogen werden gebagatelliseerd. Verschillende schrijvers, politici en culturele figuren veroordeelden de keuze van de Academie; sommigen boycotten de ceremonie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Verder teruggaand, <strong>Dario Fo,<\/strong> De Italiaanse toneelschrijver en satiricus verbaasde velen toen hij in 1997 tot laureaat werd benoemd. Fo stond bekend om zijn politiek geladen, vaak anarchistische theater en werd in sommige kringen aanbeden en in andere afgewezen. Het besluit van de Academie om hem in het zonnetje te zetten boven meer traditionele literaire figuren deed de wenkbrauwen fronsen, maar onderstreepte ook hun bereidheid om de verwachtingen ter discussie te stellen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Een andere verrassende keuze kwam in 1953, toen <strong>Winston Churchill <\/strong>ontving de prijs voor zijn historische geschriften en welsprekendheid. Velen vroegen zich af of een staatsman ge\u00eberd moest worden boven de belangrijkste literaire figuren uit die tijd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Andere controversi\u00eble keuzes zijn inbegrepen <strong>Harold Pinter<\/strong> in 2005, wiens bijtende politieke toespraken zijn onderscheiding overschaduwden. Eerder, in 1964, <strong>Jean Paul Sartre<\/strong> geschiedenis geschreven door de Nobelprijs helemaal af te wijzen en te zeggen dat een schrijver zich niet in een instituut mag laten veranderen \u2013 nog een moment dat het debat over de rol en de betekenis van de prijs aanwakkerde.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\"
