The Nobel Prize in Literature

Awarded to Romanian-born poet and novelist Herta Muller. I'm so happy and excited, almost as if the prize had been awarded to me :)

Congratulations! Can you nominate a good starter text, a way in for the uninitiated?

English translations are not so numerous, but a good starter might be The Land of Green Plums, depicting the condition of ethnic minorities under communist dictatorship in Romania.
