Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Muller, who a claim this newly translated collection of stories would seem to prove. Once again, won the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for The Land of Green Plums, is considered one of the most gifted contemporary German-language writers, 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 scars of communism. Perhaps the most pertinent word to explain this dainty collection is contradictionAthe narratives portray what is real and undeniable in a surreal and almost absurd way, yet the seemingly unadorned storytelling demands the maximum concentration from the reader.
