The German-Romanian writer Herta Müller has won this year's Nobel Prize in Literature. With their decision the Swedish Nobel Prize Committee paid tribute on Thursday to the works of a woman who grew up in the Banat region in Romania before emigrating to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1987, where she continued to be persecuted by the Securitate, the secret service of communist Romania. According to the jury, Müller's language paints "landscapes of homelessness".
