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.

Tillfälligt slut
This collection traces some of the major patterns of representation of East European women in Western art and culture, drawing careful connections between these philosophical, artistic, and cultural constructions and actual historical, sociopolitical realities. The articles analyze a wide array of forms of representation-narrative, theater, opera, journalism, film, and media-over a period of two centuries, in order to demonstrate that certain stereotypical and simplistic views of East European women have long been perpetuated in the Western world. Furthermore, these essays assert that the treatment of women in a given society is directly linked to the ways in which they are seen and represented in the imagination and artistic constructions of that culture.

During the Cold War, stories of espionage became popular on both sides of the Iron Curtain, capturing the imagination of readers and filmgoers alike as secret police quietly engaged in surveillance under the shroud of impenetrable secrecy. And curiously, in the post–Cold War period there are no signs of this enthusiasm diminishing.The opening of secret police archives in many Eastern European countries has provided the opportunity to excavate and narrate for the first time forgotten spy stories. Cold War Spy Stories from Eastern Europe brings together a wide range of accounts compiled from the East German Stasi, the Romanian Securitate, and the Ukrainian KGB files. The stories are a complex amalgam of fact and fiction, history and imagination, past and present. These stories of collusion and complicity, betrayal and treason, right and wrong, and good and evil cast surprising new light on the question of Cold War certainties and divides.
