Vater telefoniert mit den Fliegen (Father's on the Phone with the Flies) is a collection of collage poems by Nobel Prize-winning writer Herta Müller first published in 2012.[1] The 191 collages are divided between five sections.[2] As with most of Müller's work, one of the collection's underlying themes is political, stemming from her experience living under the dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaușescu in Communist Romania.[3]
