	Literary Encyclopedia: Elfriede Jelinek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Elfriede Jelinek was born on 20 October 1946 in the village of Mürzzuschlag in Styria, Austria.
		Jelinek’s biting satire takes aim at capitalism, patriarchy, the media, sports, and a whole slew of societal institutions and cultural icons, but its driving motivation remains an unrelenting attack of the intentional amnesia of her homeland after 1945, an amnesia that has perpetuated fascist structures into the present.
		In both the content and the aesthetics of her literature, Jelinek strives to reveal the virulent xenophobia and misogyny inherent in the norms and institutions of a society that has steadfastly refused to confront its past, preferring instead to live in the fairy-tale pictures of Austria the skiing paradise and tourist destination.

		Jelinek uses extremes to exemplify, to drastically make us aware of how oppression, violence, fascism and cruelty work and to unmask their mechanisms.
		Elfriede Jelinek has been called a penetrating analyst and diagnostician, a dissector of authoritarian structures in its various disguises, and her instrument, her scalpel, is her language.
		However, the soaring national and international recognition of Elfriede Jelinek will hopefully contribute to raising awareness of how important it is for our societies to listen to voices of bold, critical dissent: vital thorns in our flesh that spur our moral conscience.
