Anyone read some of Heiner Mueller's works? I recently read 'Mauser' and 'Road to Volokolamsk' I-III, and I liked them a lot. They may be somewhat commie, but if you don't have a problem with that, i'd really recommend them. They are really great art and not terribly long, either .
I remember a short story by him about a man who plans to commit suicide with his family when the russians approach his village in 1945, but i can't remember the name of the text. anyone know the name, or where i could find the story?
