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 Mller 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. Fathers on the Phone with the Flies presents seventy-three of Mllers collage poems for the first time in English translation, alongside full-color reproductions of the originals. Mller takes full advantage of the collage form, generating poems rich in wordplay, ambiguity, and startling, surreal metaphorsthe disruption and dislocation at their core rendered visible through stark contrasts in color, font, and type size. Liberating words from conformity and coercion, Mller renders them fresh and invests them forcefully with personal experience.
