So begins Jelinek's brilliant new novel, an unrelenting and horrifying exploration of postwar Austria..., The writing is so strong, it reads as if it wasn't written down at all, but as if the author's demon spirit is entering first a boy and then a girl, a structure, a thing, a totality, to let it speak its horrible truth.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Elfriede Jelinek was born in Austria in 1946 and grew up in Vienna where she attended the famous Music Conservatory.
