I'm happy she won. I had heard of her and read some of her stuff. Excellent choice.

I confess I have never heard of her. Jonte will have to add her to the list of authors to read. Does anyone know her work?
She is quite well known in Germany, I think. And in German departments in the US. My literature teacher used a good bit of her work in third year German. Damn hard too, though. Fucking colloquial German.
