It was the German-Romanian author Herta Müller who received this year's Nobel Prize in Literature. She is described as "a prolific novelist and essayist whose works depicting the human devastation of the Romanian dictatorship and the rootlessness of political asylum."
Her Swedish publisher Wahlström & Widstrand are obviously very pleased today.
