There is one book by Han Kang that even the Swedish academy won’t have been able to read yet: in 2019 Han became the fifth writer to have been chosen for Scottish artist Katie Paterson’s Future Library art project. Paterson asks one writer a year to contribute a manuscript on the themes of imagination and time, which are then stored in a specially designed room in a forest in Oslo. In 2114, 100 years after the project’s launch, its curators will cut down the 1,000 Norwegian spruces that were planted in 2014, and print the texts – unseen by anyone until then – for the first time.
