What's the story
Canadian poet Anne Carson has won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature "for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature." Last year, Hungarian novelist László Krasznahorkai won the coveted prize. The Nobel Committee cited his "compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art."
