I'm thrilled to be publishing this wonderfully distinct and emotionally intelligent debut novel in 2026. Anna is an exceptionally talented author and THE LEVERET is a rare and radical book.

South Korean author Han Kang wins the 2024 Nobel prize in literature https://t.co/yyfhF6VwSh

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

In her oeuvre, 2024 literature laureate Han Kang 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.

Just read a 384 page book from cover to cover. Proud to say it’s my own. Writing is such a dissociative process.

Grateful to my editorial team for believing in what the manuscript could inspire about how all hope is not lost when it comes to climate crisis + racial justice!

[Ruby @RubyFatimilehin]
