STOCKHOLM — The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Han Kang, a South Korean author, for her “intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”Han, 53, began her career with a group of poems in a South Korean magazine, before making her prose debut in 1995 with a short story collection.She later began writing longer prose works, most notably “The Vegetarian,” one of her first books to be translated into English.

PARIS — A pair of red shoes, two beaded necklaces and a British 10p coin are among the few clues that could help to identify a teenage girl found murdered in western France more than 40 years ago.Her death is one of 46 cold cases European police are seeking to solve as part of the second phase of a campaign aimed at finding the names of unidentified murdered women.BBC coverage of last year’s appeal helped to identify a British woman some 30 years after her murder.“We want to identify the deceased women, bring answers to families, and deliver justice to the victims,” Jürgen Stock, secretary-general of Interpol, which is coordinating the effort, said in a statement on Tuesday.“Whether it is a memory, a tip, or a shared story, the smallest detail could help uncover the truth.”The...
