Haruki Murakami wins the 2023 Princess of Asturias Award for Literature. The Japanese author's name became a trend in social networks, even with memes.
The Cuban writer Leonardo Padura and the Mexican expert Gonzalo Celorio explain how it prevailed among 36 authors. "Unquestionable quality" and ability "to convince very diverse audiences and generations". A shared "honor": for the writer and for the prize, says Padura, who won the same prize in 2015.
