Heiner Müller was a German (formerly East German) dramatist, poet, writer, essayist and theatre director. Described as "the theatre's greatest living poet" since Samuel Beckett, Müller is often considered the most important German dramatist of the 20th century after Bertolt Brecht. His "enigmatic, fragmentary pieces" are a significant contribution to postmodern drama and postdramatic theatre.
I really enjoyed this read even though I basically gave an arm and a leg to get this. Müller writes beautifully in a way that is raw and has texture. Even though the pieces are all relatively short, they have impact and they echo. A 4.5 star read for me
