Why Herta Müller

I have nothing against Herta Müller. I would have even read her books if I were the least interested in the Romanian reality.
But...

It was a few years ago, when the Nobel Committee gave the prize to another one of those writers whom no one ever heard of, when I first met the opinion that aimed to explain why the Nobel Prize Committee favoured unknown, obscure writers so much.

They all are writers themselves, you know. They write no bestsellers but lots of "serious" literature. Books which are impossible to read or understand unless you are an expert in deep literature.
That is why they try to popularize that sort of literary work, by awarding the Nobel Prize to their write-a-likes.

Get it?
