Holocaust surviving, Hungarian novelist, Imre Kertész has won the literature Nobel prize "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history". His trio of fictionalized autobiographical novels portray a man who molds to society's needs no matter how awful the circumstances, although Kertész himself rebeled against his communist government.
