WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2025
Human being - astonishing creature - who are you?
Delivered in Stockholm in December 2025, Enough About Angels is the extraordinary Nobel Lecture from László Krasznahorkai. Characteristically brilliant and unforgettable, it is a message about hope, compassion, the force of humanity and how, from our degraded current epoch, destruction might emerge - or rebellion.
