What's unnecessary is best of all, says Rainer, who wants to go on fighting. We ageed on that.' It is the late 1950s. A man is out walking in a park in Vienna. He will be beaten up by four teenagers, not for his money, he has an average amount ? nor for anything he might have done to them, but because the youths are arrogant and very pleased with themselves. Their arrogance is their way of reacting to the maggot?ridden corpse that is Austria where everyone has a closet to hide their Nazi histories, their sexual perversions and their hatred of the foreigner. Elfriede Jelinek, who writes like an angel of all that is tawdry, shows in Wonderful, Wonderful Times how actions of the present are determined by thoughts of the past.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 200mmItem Length: 125mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 192gAuthor: Elfriede JelinekGenre: FictionType: Contemporary FictionRelease Year: 1990 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
