Over Han Kang en haar kopje thee
While she was writing the book Ik zeg geen vaarwel this tea cup was part of Han Kang's daily habits. After getting up at 5.30 am and going for a walk, she would drink a cup of tea. (She drank black tea although the cup is intended for green tea.) When she stared at the vortex that formed in the cup, it became her universe.
Han Kang donated the cup to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2024.
Han Kang, geboren in 1970, kreeg de prijs in 2024:
for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life
Han Kang began her career in 1993 as a poet, but has since written mainly novels and short stories. In her oeuvre she confronts historical traumas and invisible sets of rules and, in each of her works, exposes the fragility of human life. She has a unique awareness of the connections between body and soul, the living and the dead, and in her poetic and experimental style has become an innovator in contemporary prose. Among her works are The Vegetarian, Human Acts and We Do Not Part.
