The award was announced in Stockholm on Thursday.Ms. Mller, 56, immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987. She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Gnter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901. She is the 12th woman to win the literature prize. But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V.S. Naipaul, Ms. Mller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany.“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms. Muller said in a statement delivered by her publisher in Germany. “I cant say anything more at the moment.”She has written some 20 books, but just 5 have been translated into English, including the novels “The Land of Green Plums” and “The Appointment.” At the news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers & Booksellers Association in Berlin, where she lives, Ms. Mller, wearing all black and sitting on a leopard-print chair, appeared nervous with all the cameras flashing on her. When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich Bll, Ms. Mller remained philosophical. “I am now nothing better and Im nothing worse,” she said, adding: “My inner thing is writing. Thats what I can hold on to.”Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Stockholm, Peter Englund, secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Ms. Mller was honored for her “very, very distinct special language” and because “she has really a story to tell about cruelty and repression in a village much like the one Mller grew up in.”The awards ceremony is planned for Dec.10 in Stockholm. As the winner, Ms. Mller will receive about $1.4 million.71.According to the passage, all of the following statements are wrong EXCEPT that_.A. she moved to Germany from Romania when she was 40B. most of her works are very popular outside GermanyC. she is the first German writer that has won the Nobel Prize in literatureD. so f
