PRAISE FOR "THE HUNGER ANGEL"
"A wonderful, passionate, poetic work of literature...Herta Muller is a writer who releases great emotional power through a highly sophisticated, image studded, and often expressionistic prose." -Neal Ascherson, "The New York Review of Books"
"This is not just a good novel, it is a great one... Muller is through and through a stylist. Her novel is written in a taut idiomatic German, which breaks into paragraphs of wrenching, Rilkean lyricism...A masterpiece." -"Financial Times"
"Written in terse, hypnotic prose...exquisite." "--New Yorker""Wry and poetic, and Muller's evocative language makes the abstract concrete as her narrator's sanity is stretched...Boehm's translation preserves the integrity of Muller's gorgeous prose, and Leo's despondent reveries are at once tragic and engrossing." --"Publishers Weekly" (Starred Review) "The stunning, exhilarating, heartbreaking culmination of Muller's work as a novelist...A 300-page prose poem of resistance to totalitarian repression, the book is a haunting paean to "the human angel"--the inventive, imaginative, invincible force that transcends suffering and absement, that defies depersonalization and deprivation to survive, and even thrive." --"The Wichita Eagle" "A work of rare force, a feat of sustained and overpowering poetry...Muller has the ability to distil concrete objects into language of the greatest intensity and to sear these objects on to the reader's mind."--"Times Literary Supplement" "A phenomenal, moving and humbling novel."--"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" PRAISE FOR "THE APPOINTMENT"
"A taut and brilliant book."--"Chicago Tribune" "A brooding, fog-shrouded allegory of life under the long oppression of the regime of Nicolae Ceausescu."--"The New York Times" "Muller scatters narrative bombshells across a field of dreams.""--San Francisco Chronicle" PRAISE FOR "THE LAND OF GREEN PLUMS" "Unflinching. . .Ms. Muller's vision of a police state manned by plum thieves reads like a kind of fairy tale on the mingled evils of gluttony, stupidity, and brutality.""--The New York Times" "Muller has triumphed in her honesty. . . . Describes in precisely hewn detail what it was like to live in Romania under communism.""--The Washington Post" "This heartbreaking tale is bitter and dark, yet beautiful... stark and telling.""--The San Diego Union-Tribune" "Ms. Muller's rich, harsh, obsessive imagery captures the surreal beauty and the difficulty of Ceausescu-era Romania.""--The Boston Book Review" "Impressive, wholly authentic . . .a bleak fable with the flickering intensity of a nightmare.""--International Herald Tribune"
