About the author

Elfriede Jelinek
Elfriede Jelinek

Austrian Nobel Prize-winning playwright and novelist whose work attacks Austrian fascism, misogyny, and the aesthetics of violence with virtuosic linguistic aggression. Her plays are barely stageable in conventional terms; directors like Christoph Schlingensief turned them into theatrical events. She is one of the most discussed and divisive writers in the German language.
