Enough About Angels: The Nobel Lecture

Available in a beautiful print edition for the first time, this brilliant lecture delivered by László Krasznahorkai, winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature, reads like an unforgettable short story

Addressed to a rapt audience in Stockholm two days before being awarded his Nobel Prize, László Krasznahorkai’s moving lecture asks: “Human being―astonishing creature―who are you?”  In a message about hope (or his lack thereof), Krasznahorkai compassionately considers humanity and how, from our degraded current epoch, destruction might emerge ―or rebellion.
