Elfriede Jelinek's Anti-Dramatic Theater Has a New Collection in Brazil

Austrian Nobel Laureate Elfriede Jelinek releases a new collection of plays in Brazil titled "Elfriede Jelinek: From Impotent Text to Impossible Theater," edited by Artur Sartori Kon.

Elfriede Jelinek, the Austrian Nobel Prize winner in Literature, has introduced her latest collection of plays in Brazil called "Elfriede Jelinek: From Impotent Text to Impossible Theater," published by Perspectiva and organized by Artur Sartori Kon. Jelinek, who remains relatively unknown in Brazil, is acclaimed for her unique literary voice, characterized by a musical flow of voices that reveal the absurdity of societal clichés. She often critiques the darker sides of society, especially focusing on themes such as the 'infinite absence of guilt' in Austria regarding its history with Nazism, as well as the brutalities masked by Western capitalism.
