Elfriede Jelinek

Meer over het boek

Despite her wide-ranging literary production -- including award winning plays and novels, plays that unleash major theater scandals, screenplays, and many other genres -- which has escalated her to the forefront of the Austrian and German literary scene, Elfriede Jelinek is still scarcely known to the English-speaking world. The essays collected here demonstrate the range and significance of this major literary voice, addressing Jelinek as a master of modernist prose, of postmodern critiques of literary genres, of stage and screen and of feminist and antifascist criticism.
