I haven't a clue.

But the article seems to indicate that I have a better chance of winning the Nobel than Lady P.

Congratulations to Herta Müller.


I was involved with knocking together Hanser's Foreign Rights blurb for Ms Müller's latest - Breathswing - earlier in the year. My main contribution was to suggest the title needed changing. Strangely enough, I believe the title remains, and I no longer have that particular job. Never mind.

I echo Chuck's thoughts - congratutations to a terrific writer.
