Well deserved. I’ve read the Vegetarian and the White Book, and both were good. I had no idea she was this old and accomplished though lol, I thought these were her two only books and she was like in her early 40’s 😭😭

Everyone who predicted a woman from Asia was correct! Only I didn’t see Han Kang mentioned a single time, so it’s still somewhat surprising. I think it’s the first time a South Korean author has won the prize too!
