«La Convocation» is the novel by Herta Müller published by Points in paperback (256 pages, in French).
A woman who sews trousers for a fashion house hides a note with her details in a garment; the gesture makes her a suspect and the Security service interrogates her repeatedly with the same questions. Between summonses, her life shrinks to crumbs: a husband who drinks to bear the fear and neighbours who barely leave the house.
Work translated from German by Claire de Oliveira; original title «Heute wär ich mir lieber nicht begegnet». The cover features Herta Müller as Nobel Prize in Literature.
For readers of literary fiction interested in European narrative and the effects of dictatorship and surveillance on everyday life.
