Elfriede Jelinek's wide-ranging literary production has brought her
to the forefront of the Austrian literary scene. The fifteen essays
collected here demonstrate the significance of this major literary
voice, addressing Jelinek as a master of modernist prose, of
post-modern critique of literary genres, and of stage and screen.
Hers is a strong voice against domestic violence, pornography,
oppression of women, and the continuance of the fascist legacy in
the everyday world of contemporary Austria and Germany. Jelinek is
represented in this volume with an essay on translation and is
further introduced by an interview. The remaining fifteen
contributions by eminent scholars from both Europe and the United
States illuminate Jelinek's writings through discussions of her
major works. These critical analyses of her prose and drama and
their attendant bibliographies make Jelinek's fascinating and
highly relevant literary world available to English-speaking
readers for the first time.
