About This Novel
This book is one of the representative works of Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature. The original work was published in 1980. In this work, the author confronts the narrow and peaceful civil society and life with pungent language. The background of the story is Vienna in the 1950s after the war. The protagonists in the book are all young people aged 17 or 18. They often get together to live ordinary lives, wandering the streets with nothing to do, and robbing pedestrians under the cover of darkness to vent their dissatisfaction with society and inner chaos. With the help of descriptions of their life experiences, the work reveals the social truth behind the peaceful facade in the early days of economic take-off.
