The Nobel Lecture by Han Kang, Nobel Laureate 2024, asks questions that trouble all of us. She explores the evolution of her questions, starting when she was a child evacuating from the city of Gwang Ju in South Korea, during a bloody massacre. There is no resolution, no answer, but we see her questions changing over time. Do I dare to read her books? Am I willing to experience her pain, or the pain of her characters? Read or listen to her lecture. Even that makes one think.
