Title: THE PASSPORT.
Authors: BRANDON ROBSHAW
Source: Independent (UK). 01/31/2016.
Abstract: The Passport by the Nobel Prize-winning author Herta Müller is a short, bleak literary fable. Set in Ceausescu-era Romania, it tells the story of Windisch, a miller who seeks to emigrate with his wife and daughter to the West. To do this he must bribe a variety of officials and the village priest with sacks of flour, delivering them at night, year after year. But that's not enough: the officials also want a nocturnal visit from his attractive daughter to, er, go over her papers. The style is spare, the sentences short; it's told in the manner of an East European fairy tale, and features an owl that is a harbinger of death and an apple-tree that eats its own apples. Müller depicts a hopeless, paralysed world; yet not without a certain black humour. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
