520 |a To create the poems in this collection, Nobel Prize winner Herta Müller cut up countless newspapers and magazines in search of striking phrases, words, or even fragments of words, which she then arranged in the form of a collage. Father's on the Phone with the Flies presents 73 of Müller's collage poems alongside full-colour reproductions of the originals. Taking advantage of the collage form, Müller generates poems rich in wordplay, ambiguity, and startling, surreal metaphors - the disruption and dislocation at their core rendered visible through stark contrasts in colour, font, and type size. Liberating words from conformity and coercion, Müller renders them fresh and invests them forcefully with personal experience. --  |c Summary from book.
