Aprašymas

"All the stories spring from my personal experience, and my experiences are almost all unusual." So wrote Mariella Mehr, the Yenish author

who was subjected to the Swiss government-funded assimilationist campaign targeting nomadic populations.

Her experiences drove her to use her writing to explore systems of violence, power, and abuse, and over the course of her career Mehr drew from a dark interior space, inventing new ways to depict pain and write the body. Described as the "Joan of Arc of the Yenish people," Mehr's haunting and linguistically inventive collection offers a rare, panoptic view into the lives of the persecuted.

The 26 pieces in Nightmare of the Embryos are drawn from published and unpublished works, and reveal Mehr as a master stylist.
