At 13:00 local time in Stockholm, Sweden, on October 5, 2023 (19:00 Beijing time), the Swedish Academy awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature to Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse in recognition of his "innovative drama and prose that give voice to the unspeakable."
He has written extensively in Norsk Norsk across a variety of genres, including plays, novels, poetry, essays, children's books and translations. While he is one of the most widely performed playwrights in the world today, he is also increasingly recognized for his prose.
