Ms. Tokarczuk was awarded the prize "for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life." The award had been postponed from last year following a scandal that engulfed the Swedish Academy, the cultural institution charged with administering the award.
The author, who has family roots in Ukraine, was featured in The New Yorker magazine’s August 5 & 12, 2019 issue. The article is available here.
