review 1: La manera como a través de ciertas memorias recrea una historia ficticia, haciéndonos participes de diversas experiencias, un àngel del hambre que con su temible presencia hace del día a día un interminable camino del que no es nada gozoso andar, es sorprendente como se puede sobrevivir en condiciones totalmente opuestas a las favorables para ello, en donde guardar un pedazo de pan es un sacrificio privelegiado, donde la muerte acecha a cada paso. La historia resulta deliciosa de ser leida, porque ademàs de situarnos en estos escenarios nos regala la narración a través de poesía encantadora.
review 2: A quite stunning novel by the Nobel Prize-winning Müller. She originally started working on it with the poet Oskar Pastior, based on his experiences in ... morea forced labour camp in the Soviet Union after WWII, and then continued it on her own after his death. Müller's own mother spent five years in a similar camp. The novel is episodic and impressionistic, with elliptical glimpses at the hardships suffered by the novel's main character, a young gay Romanian of German heritage. Although similarly grim it had a very different prose style to the other Müller novel I've read, The Appointment. less
