"A swift, stinging narrative, fable-like in its stoic concision and painterly detail."--"The Philadelphia Inquirer"
"The Passport" is a beautiful, haunting novel whose subject is a German village in Romania caught between the stifling hopelessness of Ceausescu's dictatorship and the glittering temptations of the West. Stories from the past are woven together with the problems Windisch, the village miller, faces after he applies for permission to migrate to West Germany.

In sparse, poetic language, Muller captures the forlorn plight of a trapped people.
