British publisher published by Han Kang, "A phenomenal writer who is different from anyone else."

British publishers, which published English-language versions of author Han Kang's novel, also welcomed Han's acceptance of the Nobel Prize in Literature."The Nobel Prize for Literature prioritizes works that reflect on profound questions about human conditions," said Sigrid Rushing, publisher of the English-language translations of
{The Vegetarian,'' ``Here Comes a Boy,'' and ``White.'' "This is especially true for Han, who has written novels on the subject of women's position in Korea, the aftermath of the infamous massacre, and loss.""Han Kang is one of the most serious writers today and has a voice that never degenerates into cliché or general opinion," said publisher of

Rushing. "With its generous and firm lyricism, Han Kang has become a Nobel Prize winner and a rare best-selling author.""What a wonderful moment for everyone who loves the Han River and his work," Simon Prosser, publishing director of Penguin Random House-affiliated publisher Haymish Hamilton, who translated and published
'Greek Time', said in a statement to the Korean Cultural Center in the UK. "I couldn't be happier."

He said, "Han Kang firmly faces the painful question of what it means to be a human being, a species capable of both cruel and love acts through writing with outstanding beauty and clarity."

"Han Kang is a writer who sees, thinks, and feels differently from any other artist," Prosser said. "Her works are both wonders and gifts."

Han won the Man Booker International Prize (now the International Booker Prize), the international division of the prestigious Booker Prize, for her novel The Vegetarian, and she was also shortlisted for another novel, White, in 2018.

Han Kang's novels 'The Vegetarian', 'Greek Time', 'The Boy Is Coming', and 'White' have been translated and published in the UK.
