Even though winning the Nobel Prize in Literature this year has catapulted her into the media spotlights, few people are familiar with her unsettling and meticulous prose and poetry. In the light of Romania's painful past under communist dictatorship, we explore the meaning of Muller's life and work for our world today. http://www.wpr.org/hereonearth/archive_091110k.cfm Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:00:01 GMT Do you remember November 9th, 1989?
