tho there was that collective who's that after the announcement I have
to admit I'm intrigued by her--i do have an interest in Romania under
that Stalinist fuck and his wife and if anything at the least, one
should applaud her for her courage
we need writers like this no?

>> "The narrator's resistance to the conspiratorial logic of the regime is most effectively expressed in Muller's meandering stream of consciousness narration. The sheer chaos of her narrative -- in which the numerous infidelities, betrayals and deceits that constitute the story's various threads are confusingly entwined in the narrator's mind -- is the source of the novel's overwhelming bleakness, more so than the fate of any particular character. (...) Detached from family, loved ones, even the world around her, Muller's narrator teeters on the edge of madness. Her tale, though haunting, offers the reader little insight. Muller's psychological acuity makes The Appointment both more and less than a fable" - Jason M. Baskin, Chicago Review (Winter/2002)
