Romania\u2014the last months of the Ceausescu regime. Adina is a young schoolteacher. Paul is a musician. Clara works in a wire factory. Pavel is Clara\u2019s 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, it\u2019s the hind leg. Then a foreleg. The mutilated fur is a taunting sign that she is being watched by the secret police\u2014the 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 it\u2019s hard to tell victim from perpetrator. Once again, Herta M\u00fcller uses language that displays \u201cthe concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose\u201d\u2014as the Swedish academy noted upon awarding her the Nobel Prize\u2014to create a hauntingly cinematic portrayal of the corruption of the soul under totalitarianism.<\/p>\n
