To create the poems in this collection, Nobel Prize-winner Herta
Muller cut up countless newspapers and magazines in search of
striking phrases, words, or even fragments of words, which she then
arranged in a the form of a collage. Father's on the Phone with the
Flies presents seventy-three of Muller's collage poems for the
first time in English translation, alongside full-color
reproductions of the originals. Muller 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,
Muller renders them fresh and invests them forcefully with personal
experience. Sure to thrill any fan of contemporary literature,
Father's on the Phone with the Flies is an unexpected, exciting
work from one of the most protean writers ever to win the Nobel.
