Hendes utrolige viden om og talent inden for litteratur og filosofi afspejler sig også i hendes forfatterskab, som hun har vundet utallige priser for; blandt andet The Franz Kafka International Literary Prize, the PEN Center USA Lifetime Achievement Award og hædersprisen Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
