Elfriede Jelinek Framed by Language

Despite her wide-ranging literary production (spanning 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 literary scene, Elfriede Jelinek (born 1946) is still scarcely known to the English-speaking world. To date, only three of her books, The Piano Teacher (1988), Wonderful Wonderful Times (1990), and Lust (1992) have been translated.
