In postwar Austria, a group of young people becomes involved in a series of violent acts that highlight the flaws of a society determined to hide the horrors of the past. The novel explores the difficulty of living without complexes in an environment that prefers to ignore the crimes of Nazism, through the story of three high school students and a young worker who resort to assault and robbery, triggering tragic consequences. The work of Elfriede Jelinek, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, portrays the perverse everyday life of violence and prevailing social values, offering a sarcastic and critical look at Austrian society.
Elfriede Jelinek is an Austrian playwright and novelist. She is one of the most decorated authors to write in German and was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature for her "musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that, with extraordinary linguistic zeal, reveal the absurdity of society's clichés and their subjugating power". She is considered to be among the most important living playwrights of the German language.
