Nobel literature laureate Peter Handke received his award from Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf at a ceremony with this year’s other laureates, followed by a gala banquet attended by more than 1,200 special guests.
The Academy honoured Handke ‘for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience’.
It called him ‘one of the most influential writers in Europe after the Second World War’.
But the award has stirred controversy. One Nobel committee member resigned over the choice, while Tuesday’s ceremony was boycotted by one Academy member and representatives of the embassies of Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo and Turkey boycotted Tuesday’s ceremony.

As Handke received the prize in Stockholm’s Concert Hall, hundreds of protesters gathered in two locations in the city to oppose the award, including a handful of people outside the building holding banners urging him to ‘apologise to the victims of Srebrenica’.
In 1997 Handke was accused of minimising Serb war crimes in his book ‘A Journey to the Rivers: Justice for Serbia’.
He also drew criticism for speaking at the 2006 funeral of Milosevic, who died while on trial for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday slammed the choice of Handke, saying ‘the Nobel has no value’.
‘Granting the Nobel Literature Prize on Human Rights Day to a figure who denies the genocide in Bosnia and Herzogovina is nothing less than rewarding human rights violations,’ he told Turkish television.
Handke’s award came as the Academy struggles to recover from a rape scandal that resulted in the 2018 prize being postponed and awarded this year to Polish author Olga Tokarczuk.
