Annotation:
    "The Passport" is a beautiful, haunting novel whose subject is a
    German village in Romania caught between the stifling
    hopelessness of Ceausescu's dictatorship and the glittering
    temptations of the West.  Stories from the past are woven
    together with the problems Windisch, the village miller, faces
    after he applies for permission to migrate to West Germany.
    Herta Mueller describes with poetic attention the dreams and
    superstitions, conflicts and oppression of a forgotten region, the
    Banat, in the Danube Plain. In sparse, poetic language, Muller
    captures the forlorn plight of a trapped people.

Author Biography:
    Herta Muller is the winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.
    She was born in Romania in 1953.  After refusing to cooperate
    with Ceausescu's Securitate, she lost her job as a teacher and
    suffered repeated threats before she was able to emigrate in
    1987.  She is the author of The Passport (1989) and Children of
    Ceausescu (2002) among other publications, and is the winner
    of Germany's most prestigious literary award, The Kleist Prize.
    Herta Muller now lives in Berlin.
