From the author of The Piano Teacher, this timely trio of scorching texts against idiocy, corruption, and political insanity fully display the adamantine, acerbic wit that won Jelinek the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Elfriede Jelinek was born in Austria in 1946 and grew up in Vienna where she attended the famous Music Conservatory. The leading Austrian writer of her generation, she has been awarded many honors, including the Heinrich Böll Prize for her contribution to German literature and the Nobel Prize in Literature. Gitta Honegger has translated Elfriede Jelinek, Elias Canetti, Thomas Bernhard, Peter Handke, Franz Xaver Kroetz, and Marieluise Fleißer.
