A couple of days ago, I decided to get my brother, two cousins and self to a cineplex to watch The Hunger Games. The Hunger Angel, the new novel from 2009 Nobel Prize winner Herta Müller, is the harrowing story a young German youth of 17 and his five year imprisonment in a Soviet labor camp after the end of WWII. I must say that I left that cinema quite amazed and I'm still amazed. From peckish to ravenous; this was my experience with the spectrum of hunger. Herta Müller, translated from the German by Philip Boehm. But it wasn't until I read Herta Müller's The Hunger Angel that I came to appreciate hunger's full dimension. It's a landscape of slag and gravel, digging and deprivation, always accompanied by the "hunger angel" of the title: "everything I did was hungry," Leopold says. Metropolitan Books/Henry Holt: 292 pp., $ 26. Nowhere is it more obvious than in The Hunger Angel. So the symbolism of peasant farmers protesting GMO corn with a hunger strike in front of a monument celebrating Mexico's independence from Spain (Mexico City's Angel of Independence) is significant.
