Nadirs (autobiography)
1982 book by Herta Müller
Nadirs (German: Niederungen) is a collection of largely autobiographical short stories by Romanian-German writer and Nobel laureate Herta Müller. The stories center on life in the Romanian countryside.[2]
The book was first released in Romania in 1982, where it received a prize awarded by the Central Committee of the Union of Communist Youth. A supposedly uncensored version, missing four chapters of the Romanian version, was smuggled to Germany and released in 1984.[3]
