László Krasznahorkai — the Hungarian writer known for his dense, dystopian prose — has won the Nobel Prize for Literature ‘in the midst of apocalyptic terror, for reaffirming the power of art.’

His works written in long, unbroken sentences refuse to look away from the chaos of the world.

Krasznahorkai reminds us that resistance and imagination are acts of survival.

At Outlook, we’ve been asking the same questions, 'In All Is Well', we turned satire into rebellion—challenging the ‘happy news’ that hides the cracks beneath celebration.

And in, 'My Dear Apocalypse', we explored a planet in purgatory—endless war, pandemic, climate catastrophe—asking if this, right now, is the apocalypse the scriptures spoke of.
