The Passport by Herta Müller

4.0

Oddly lyrical and staccato at the same time, I wasn't sure if I was going to get into this at first but I found the brevity to be pretty powerful by the end with the measured text and pauses giving plenty of time for images to form. Perhaps this is why so many people don't seem to have liked it very much, but I found it bleak, elegant and impressive.
