The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012
The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".
Mo Yan has focused an unflinching eye on what he calls the darkness and ugliness of 20th-century Chinese society in a prolific writing career that landed him the 2012 Nobel prize for litterature. The prize won by the writer is worth 8 million crowns ($1.2 million) and was given by the Swedish Academy.
