Beskrivelse
A beautiful exploration of love as a golden thread linking hearts. Han Kang’s first book since winning the Nobel Prize weaves together essays, poems, photographs, and diaries to reveal the connections between her inner and outer worlds.
An intimate journey through language, light, and the invisible bonds that unite us.
In Light and Thread, Han Kang reflects on love as the shimmering thread that ties our hearts together. This luminous and multifaceted collection marks her return after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature. Through a rich blend of essays, poems, photographs, and personal diaries, she traces the delicate links between her inner life and the world around her.
At the core of the book lies a small, north-facing courtyard garden at her home, nurtured solely by sunlight reflected from mirrors that she shifts throughout the day as the earth rotates. Han Kang’s fascination with a “gold thread” began with a poem she wrote at eight years old, and here she revisits that idea with radiant focus, starting with her Nobel Lecture.
She explores the magic of language as a thread connecting writer and reader, describing an electric current that flows between their hearts. Both deeply personal and enlightening, Light and Thread is a captivating read for anyone who appreciates Han Kang’s singular voice and vision.
