解説

Two languages-German and Romanian-inform the novels, essays, and collage poetry of Nobel laureate Herta MUEller. Describing her writing as "autofictional," MUEller depicts the effects of violence, cruelty, and terror on her characters based on her own experiences in Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceausescu regime.

Herta MUEller: Politics and Aesthetics explores MUEller's writings from different literary, cultural, and historical perspectives. Part 1 features MUEller's Nobel lecture, five new collage poems, and an interview with Ernest Wichner, a German-Romanian author who has traveled with her and sheds light on her writing. Parts 2 and 3, featuring essays by scholars from across Europe and the United States, address the political and poetical aspects of MUEller's texts. Contributors discuss life under the Romanian Communist dictatorship while also stressing key elements of MUEller's poetics, which promises both self-conscious formal experimentation and political intervention.

One of the first books in English to thoroughly examine MUEller's writing, this volume addresses audiences with an interest in dissident, exile, migration, experimental, and transnational literature.
