Volatile Texts is Zsuzsanna Gahse's ironic and prescient meditation on a Europe that is disintegrating, yet language itself is the true subject of these prose miniatures, which are volatile because they expose language as an arbitrary construct made of interchangeable parts; however, this is also what makes the book such an exciting read.
