Synopses & Reviews
Juxtaposing reality and fantasy, nightmares and dark laughter, Nadirs is a collection of fifteen largely autobiographical stories based on Müllers childhood in the Romanian countryside. The individual tales reveal a childs often nightmarish impressions of life in her village. Seamlessly mixing reality with dream-like images, Müller brilliantly conveys the inner troubled life of a child and the violence and corruption of life under an oppressive state.
