Two languages&;German and Romanian&;inform the novels, essays, and collage poetry of Nobel laureate Herta Müller. Describing her writing as &;autofictional,&; Müller depicts the effects of violence, cruelty, and terror on her characters based on her own experiences in Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceauşescu regime.

Herta Müller: Politics and Aesthetics explores Müller&;s writings from different literary, cultural, and historical perspectives. Part 1 features Müller&;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 Müller&;s texts. Contributors discuss life under the Romanian Communist dictatorship while also stressing key elements of Müller&;s poetics, which promises both self-conscious formal experimentation and political intervention.

One of the first books in English to thoroughly examine Müller&;s writing, this volume addresses audiences with an interest in dissident, exile, migration, experimental, and transnational literature.
