Met veel dank aan alle artiesten, deskundigen & @OscarvanG.
We belden met @Matthotkd, vertaler van @Nobelprize-winnaar Han Kang (bij @Nijgh): 'Het is totaal verdiend, ik vind haar weergaloos.' Lees de vertaler over haar poëtische taal, het weglaten in het Koreaans, en hoe een Engelse tussenvertaling culturele nuance weghaalt.
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.

Thank you @BrunoBFigueroa! The novel has also been translated into English by Emily Yae Won and @p_niyahmorris as WE DO NOT PART. It will be out in January 2025.
I am also proud of Mattho Mandersloot, who translated the published Dutch version of “Don’t say goodbye” from Han Kan. May new books from her come to your expert hands, Mattho!
To my Korean friends: I share the joy and proudness for the Nobel prize of literature given to an extraordinary writer, 한강. “The vegetarian” was the first Korean novel I read when I was Ambassador in Seoul. I even read 2 different translations and compared style and meaning 👉🏼
THIS IS NOT HAN KANG'S ACCOUNT.
IT IS RUN BY TOMMASO DIBENEDETTI, A MAN WHO CREATES FAKE ACCOUNTS FOR AUTHORS SO OFTEN HE HAS A WIKIPEDIA PAGE FOR IT.
STOP GIVING HIM WHAT HE WANTS (attention, lols) https://t.co/lzc8fcCh88
