herta müller: "writing against terror"

Herta Müller: "Writing Against Terror" - Media Player at Nobelprize.org (2009)

"I think I am done with the concept of home
I can do without it
I can be content and do the things I care about
I am not capable of anything more
I don't want anything more
it doesn't help to have a home
in fact I had a home
but it nearly killed me
the Nobel prize won't change that
all that is inside of me, in terms of inner damage
and traces of damage
it cannot, unfortunately, erase all that
it would be nice if it could. but nobody can do that
all I can do, time and again,
is to reconcile myself with it, in my own way
through writing."
