of the Nobel Prize for Literature was actually someone I've been rooting for ever since hearing her speak two years ago at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which inspired me to read some of her works. Have some awesome quotes in this old entry!

BTW, this year's Frankfurt Book Fair starts next week, so her German publisher will have time to decorate appropriately. If the Novel prizes are handed out in the book fair week, it's always a bit touch and go whether there are books by the winner available...
