Herta Muller - 3 novels (Nobel Prize for Literature, 2009)

HERTA MÜLLER (b. 1953) is a German-Romanian novelist, poet, and essayist whose works have been translated into more than twenty languages. When she was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy hailed her as an artist "who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed."

Müller is noted for her works depicting the effects of violence, cruelty and terror, usually in the setting of Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceaușescu regime which she has experienced herself. Many of her works are told from the viewpoint of the German minority in Romania and are also a depiction of the modern history of the Germans in the Banat, and Transylvania. Her much acclaimed 2009 novel THE HUNGER ANGEL [Atemschaukel] portrays the deportation of Romania's German minority to gulags during the Soviet occupation of Romania for use as German forced labor.
