The Land of Green Plums (German: "Herztier" ) is a novel by Herta Müller, published in 1994 by Rowohlt Verlag.
 Perhaps Müller's best-known work, the story portrays four young people living in a totalitarian police state under the Soviet-imposed communist dictatorship in Romania, ending with their emigration to Germany.
 The narrator is an unidentified young woman belonging to the ethnic German minority.
 Müller said the novel was written "in memory of my Romanian friends who were killed under the Ceauşescu regime".
Der Fuchs war damals schon der Jäger is a book by Nobel Prize-winning author Herta Müller.
 Def Fuchs war damals schon der Jäger is a novelization of the script for the film Der Fuchs der Jäger, which was produced alongside of Harry Merkel.
 Def Fuchs war damals schon der Jäger was first published in 1992 and is read as if it were a film, because Herta Müller wholly retains its cinematic character in the piece.
 Happel called the book "emotionless" and "objective".
A holon (Greek: "ὅλον, holon" neuter form of "ὅλος, holos" "whole") is something that is simultaneously a whole and a part.
 The word was coined by Arthur Koestler in his book "The Ghost in the Machine" (1967, p. 48).
 Koestler was influenced by two observations in proposing the notion of the holon.
 The first observation was influenced by Herbert A. Simon's parable of the two watchmakers—in which Simon concludes that complex systems evolve from simple systems much more rapidly when there are stable intermediate forms present in the evolutionary process than if they are not present.
 The second observation was made by Koestler himself in his analysis of hierarchies and stable intermediate forms in non-living matter (atomic and molecular structure), living organisms, and social organizations.
 He concluded that, although it is easy to identify sub-wholes or parts, wholes and parts in an absolute sense do not exist anywhere.
 Koestler proposed the word holon to describe the hybrid nature of sub-wholes and parts within in vivo systems.
 From this perspective, holons exist simultaneously as self-contained wholes in relation to their sub-ordinate parts, and as dependent parts when considered from the inverse direction.

Der Teufel sitzt im Spiegel (The Devil Sits in the Mirror) is a book by Nobel Prize-winning author Herta Müller.
 It was first published in 1991 after Müller's emigration to Germany and is cited in 2010's "History of the Literary Cultures of East Central Europe", along with "Traveling on One Leg" and "The Land of Green Plums", as drawing attention to her work in the West.
 Titled for a cautionary proverb which Müller's grandmother used to say to her—a warning against a variety of evils including vanity, sexual self-awareness and self-reflection in general, each of which could precede a fall, the book is a collection of essays about writing and literature built around the theme.
