Bøker av Herta Muller

An unexpected, exciting work from one of the most protean writers ever to win the Nobel Prize. To create the poems in this collection, Herta Müller cut up countless newspapers and magazines in search of striking phrases, words, or even fragments of words, which she then arranged in the form of a collage. Father's on the Phone with the Flies presents seventy-three of Müller's collage poems for the first time in English translation, alongside full-color reproductions of the originals. Müller takes full advantage of the collage form, generating poems rich in wordplay, ambiguity, and startling, surreal metaphors--the disruption and dislocation at their core rendered visible through stark contrasts in color, font, and type size. Liberating words from conformity and coercion, Müller renders them fresh and invests them forcefully with personal experience.

A beautiful, haunting novel by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Paperback outing for Nobel Prize-winner Muller's fierce and finely-wrought novel about a young Romanian woman's discovery of betrayal in the most intimate reaches of her life.

Juxtaposing reality and fantasy, nightmares and dark laughter, this title presents a collection of largely autobiographical stories based on Herta Muller's childhood in the Romanian countryside.
