Editorial Reviews:
Review:"[A] grim portrait of totalitarian life's squalor and pain....Sensitive, observant, unrelenting--and compelling."
Kirkus, 07/15/2001
Review:"...THE APPOINTMENT is a searing report from the heart of Eastern Europe before the fall of communism....The lyrical beauty of the prose and its unflinching moral and emotional honesty carry the reader more surely than the plot--whatever plot there is. The outcome of all those frightening meetings remains uncertain, and most likely that's the author's point."
Catherine Texier, Bookforum, Winter 2001

The Appointment (ISBN: 9780805060126) Muller, Herta;Hulse, Michael;Boehm, Philip Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Metropolitan Books. Hardback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, The Appointment, Herta Mueller, Michael Hulse, Philip Boehm, From the winner of the IMPAC Award and the Nobel Prize, a fierce novel about a young Romanian woman's discovery of betrayal in the most intimate reaches of her life "I've been summoned. Thursday, ten sharp." Thus begins one day in the life of a young clothing-factory worker during Ceaucescu's totalitarian regime. She has been questioned before; this time, she believes, will be worse. Her crime? Sewing notes into the linings of men's suits bound for Italy. "Marry me," the notes say, with her name and address. Anything to get out of the country. As she rides the tram to her interrogation, her thoughts stray to her friend Lilli, shot trying to flee to Hungary, to her grandparents, deported after her first husband informed on them, to Major Albu, her interrogator, who begins each session with a wet kiss on her fingers, and to Paul, her lover, her one source of trust, despite his constant drunkenness. In her distraction, she misses her stop to find herself on an unfamiliar street. And what she discovers there makes her fear of the appointment pale by comparison. Herta Muller pitilessly renders the humiliating terrors of a crushing regime. Bone-spare and intense, "The Appointment" confirms her standing as one of Europe's greatest writers.
