Not Philip Roth! Meet Herta Müller, a Romanian who writes in German about dictatorial oppression. One of her books is currently in print in English translation, THE LAND OF GREEN PLUMS, about a group of friends pulled apart during Ceausescu's regime. (That's out of the Publishers Weekly review; I have not read this book, nor have I ever heard of Müller before now, I confess.)
Müller emigrated to Germany in 1987, but believes that when she goes back to Romania she is still under surveillance.
