An extraordinary and exhilarating work from one of the most versatile writers to have ever received the Nobel Prize. To craft the poems in this collection, Herta Müller meticulously cut up countless newspapers and magazines, searching for striking phrases, words, or even fragments of words, which she then arranged in the form of a collage. Fathers on the Phone with the Flies presents seventy-three of Müller's collage poems in English translation for the first time, alongside full-color reproductions of the originals. Müller fully leverages the collage form, creating poems rich in wordplay, ambiguity, and startling, surreal metaphors. The disruption and dislocation at their core are made visible through stark contrasts in color, font, and type size. By liberating words from conformity and coercion, Müller renders them fresh and forcefully invests them with personal experience.
