Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk's art book hits bookstores

The Lost Soul, a unique art book with text by Nobel-winning Polish author Olga Tokarczuk about a man who loses his soul in the daily rush, hits bookstores in the United States this week. First published in Poland in 2017, the hardcover book originated from a private ceremony text intended for one person. (AP Photo/Martin Meissner, File)WARSAW โ€“ The latest book by Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk to be translated into English is a departure for the celebrated Polish author. The book has many meanings, also inspired by its nostalgic, meditative drawings by Polish artist Joanna Concejo. There appears a value through which we read the text in a different way and we also see the drawings in a different way than if they had stood alone.

American poet Louise Glรผck wins Nobel Prize in Literature

American poet Louise Gluck speaks with the media, Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020, outside her home in Cambridge, Mass. Gluck, a professor of English at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., won the 2020 Nobel Prize for literature "for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal." (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)STOCKHOLM โ€“ Louise Glรผck, an American poet long revered for the power, inventiveness and concision of her work and for her generosity to younger writers, has won the Nobel Prize in Literature. โ€œAs one of our most celebrated American poets, we are thrilled that Louise Glรผck has received this yearโ€™s Nobel Prize in Literature," Michael Jacobs, chairman of the Academy of American Poets, said in a statement. In 2018, the award was postponed after sex abuse allegations rocked the Swedish Academy, which names the Nobel literature committee, and sparked a mass exodus of members.

Nobel laureate refuses local honor over Poland's LGBT 'rift'

Tokarczuk said in a tweet Friday that while she appreciated being considered, she โ€œsadlyโ€ couldn't accept Lower Silesiaโ€™s honorary citizenship. She said that receiving it at the same time as Bishop Ignacy Dec would highlight the โ€œpainful riftโ€ in Poland over LGBT rights. Dec has repeatedly described the LGBT rights movement as a threat to the Catholic Church and to Poland, which is predominantly Catholic. โ€œInstead of being a joyous celebration of a sense of community, it is a vivid illustration of the painful rift in our society,โ€ she said. Poland has produced heated debates over LGBT rights in recent months, including after right-wing President Andrzej Duda described the movement as worse than communism as part of his reelection campaign earlier this year.

Artists, academics defend LGBT rights in Poland

The far-right activists protest against LGBT rights. Tensions over LGBT rights have been growing in Poland after an increasingly visible gay rights movement has been met by an angry backlash from the church and the government. President Andrzej Duda, a party ally, won a tight reelection in July after a campaign vowing to defend the country's traditional Catholic identity. He called the LGBT rights movement move dangerous than communism. We speak out in solidarity with activists and their allies, who are being detained, brutalized, and intimidated, the letter said.

Nobel Prizes in Literature awarded to Peter Handke, Olga Tokarczuk

(CNN) - The 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Austrian author Peter Handke, while the 2018 award, postponed from last year, was given to Polish author Olga Tokarczuk. Handke won the award "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience." And Tokarczuk will take home the 2018 award "for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life." Two prizes were awarded this year after the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature was postponed in the wake of a sexual and financial scandal that engulfed the Swedish Academy, the cultural institution responsible for awarding it. The decision did not affect the other Nobel prizes, which are awarded separately.
