The morning after the Nobel banquet in Stockholm's city hall, Han Kang, this year's Nobel laureate in literature, came to the library in Rinkeby to meet school students from Tensta and Rinkeby. The students, from fifth to ninth grade, had read some of her texts and also written their own texts based on them.

Han Kang became the 36th Nobel laureate – but the first South Korean – to meet students in Tensta and Rinkeby and take part in a program that the students themselves had put together:

A choir performed songs and some students read out interpretations in English that they had made of Han Kang's texts. Afterwards, she drank tea with a group of students and looked very happy.
