This morning, or evening if you happen to be in Europe,Herta Müller was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Müller originally published in Romanian and German however her works have been translated into several languages, including English. Most of these translations have been though small presses and now an increase in demand for her work is causing some temporary shortages in supply.
I just checked Amazon, and they appeared to be out of stock with many of her English translations but you can still find used copies from various booksellers. So I thought I would post some links for people looking for Herta Müller translations.
Herta Müller Deutsch Übersetzungen
Herta Müller Nederlandse vertalingen
Herta Müller une traduction en français
*edit* - I also just checked on AbeBooks.com and it seems that copies are flying off the virtual shelves there as well. If you don't want to wait for the reprints I would pick one up sooner than later.
Found a complete list of her books in english and german on www.herta-muller.com. I ordered "Nadirs" right away.. "The land of green plums" was a masterpiece..
