Muller's aesthetics of experimentation. 330 8 $aTwo languages-German and Romanian-inform the novels, essays, and collage poetry of Nobel laureate Herta Mu?ller. Describing her writing as "autofictional, " Mu?ller depicts the effects of violence, cruelty, and terror on her characters based on her own experiences in Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceau?escu regime. Herta Mu?ller: Politics and Aesthetics explores Mu?ller's writings from different literary, cultural, and historical perspectives. Part 1 features Mu?ller'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 Mu?ller's texts. Contributors discuss life under the Romanian Communist dictatorship while also stressing key elements of Mu?ller's poetics, which promises both self-conscious formal experimentation and political intervention. One of the firstbooks in Englishto thoroughly examine Mu?ller's writing, this volume addresses audiences with an interest in dissident, exile, migration, experimental, and transnational literature. 676 $a833/.914 701 $aBrandt$b Bettina$01814739 701 $aGlajar$b Valentina$01814740 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965221503321 996 $aHerta Muller$94368802 997 $aUNINA
