This new anthology traces the multifaceted evolution of Heiner Müller the playwright, poet, and eloquent observer of his century’s violent trajectory. The writings collected here range from Müller’s earliest work, including short stories and early poems from the 1950s, to some of his last works, including Germania 3Ghosts at Dead Man. His work presents a phantasmagoric vision of culture and history.

Review
"In [Müller's] writings you will find that which is repellant, unfathomable, false, and absurd. You will, in short, find our times, recorded more unflinchingly than almost anywhere else. You will find truth, summoned up out of the ashes and mud, and you will find remarkable wit, intelligence, and beauty: the world, in short, as only the greatest dramatists are capable of describing it." -- Tony Kushner
