Father's on the Phone with the Flies presents seventy-three of MuÌller's collage poems for the first time in English translation, alongside full-color reproductions of the originals. MuÌller takes full advantage of the collage form, generating poems rich in wordplay, ambiguity, and startling, surreal metaphors--the disruption and dislocation at their core rendered visible through stark contrasts in color, font, and type size. Liberating words from conformity and coercion, MuÌller renders them fresh and invests them forcefully with personal experience. Sure to thrill any fan of contemporary literature, Father's on the Phone with the Flies is an unexpected, exciting work from one of the most protean writers ever to win the Nobel. 546 $a Parallel German and English texts, translated from the German. 650 0 $a German poetry $y 21st century. 700 12 $a MuÌller, Herta, $d 1953- $t Poems. $k Selections. $l English. 700 12 $a MuÌller, Herta, $d 1953- $t Poems. $k Selections. 700 1 $a Cooper, Thomas, $d 1971- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024647.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905045858.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=952D8A64961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
