The award was announced in Stockholm on Thursday. Ms. M252。ller, 56, immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987. She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since G252。nter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901. She is the 12th woman to win the literature prize. But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V. S. Naipaul, Ms. M252。ller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany. “I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms. Muller said in a statement delivered by her publisher in Germany. “I can’t say anything more at the moment. ” She has written some 20 books, but just 5 have been translated into English, including the novels “The Land of Green Plums” and “The Appointment. ” At the news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers amp。 Booksellers Association in Berlin, where she lives, Ms. M252。ller, wearing all black and sitting on a leopardprint chair, appeared nervous with all the cameras flashing on her. When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich B246。ll, Ms. M252。ller remained philosophical. “I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse,” she said, adding: “My inner thing is writing. That’s what I can hold on to. ” Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Stockholm, Peter Englund, secretary of the 嘉興英語教學(xué)網(wǎng) 收集整理 歡迎使用 第 4 頁 共 10 頁 Swedish Academy, said Ms. M252。ller was honored for her “very, very distinct special language” and because “she has really a story to tell about cruelty and repression in a village much like the one M252。ller grew up in. ” The awards ceremony is planned for Dec. 10 in Stockholm. As the winner, Ms. M252。ller will receive about $1. 4 million. 36. According to the passage, all of the following statements are wrong EXCEPT that______.
