Paul is a musician. Clara works in a wire factory. Pavel is Claras lover. But one of them works for the secret police and is reporting on the others. One day Adina returns home to discover that her fox-fur rug has had its tail cut off. On another occasion, its the hind leg. Then a foreleg. The mutilated fur is a taunting sign that she is being watched by the secret policethe fox was ever the hunter. Images of photographic precision combine into a kaleidoscope of terror as Adina and her friends struggle to keep mind and body intact in a world pervaded by complicity and permeated by fear, where its hard to tell victim from perpetrator. Once again, Herta Müller uses language that displays the concentration of poetry and the frankness of proseas the Swedish academy noted upon awarding her the Nobel Prizeto create a hauntingly cinematic portrayal of the corruption of the soul under totalitarianism.
