Handke, Tokarczuk win Nobel prizes for literature

Handke won the 2019 prize "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience," the Swedish Academy said in a statement. The 2018 prize, delayed by one year after a sexual assault scandal rocked the award-giving Academy, went to Tokarczuk for "for a narrative imagination that with encyclopaedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life."
