"A work of striking originality and power."--Kirkus Reviews "Muller, who won the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for The Land of Green Plums, is considered one of the most gifted contemporary German-language writers, a claim this newly translated collection of stories would seem to prove. Once again, Muller takes us back to Communist Romania. But unlike her previous work, Nadirs is a very personal book, as much about Muller's own family sagas as it is about the inescapable scares of communism... Originally published in German ten years ago, this book was well worth the wait; it is an important achievement in contemporary Eastern European literature"--Library Journal "The 15 stories are melodious but sober in tone, echoing an overwhelmingly oppressive social atmosphere.
