The setting is an idyllic Alpine village where a women’s underwear factory nestles in the woods. Two factory workers, Brigitte and Paula, dream and talk about finding happiness, a comfortable home and good man. They realize that their quest will be as hard as work at the factory. Brigette subordinates her feelings and goes for Heinz, a young, plump, up-and-coming businessman. With Paula, feelings and dreams become confused. She gets pregnant by Erich, the forestry worker. He’s handsome, so they marry. Brigitte gets it right. Paula gets it wrong. About The Author Elfriede Jelinek was born in the Austrian alpine resort of Murzzuschlag and grew up in Vienna, where she attended the famous Music Conservatory. The leading Austrian writer of her generation, her other works include Wonderful Wonderful Times, Lust, and The Piano Teacher, now a prize winning film (all published by Serpent’s Tail), as well as plays and essays. In 1986 she was awarded the Heinrich Boll prize for her contribution to German language literature, and in 1998 she received the prestigious Georg Buchner Prize for the entirely of her work. In 2004, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for her musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that with extraordinary linguistic zeal reveal the absurdity of society’s clichés and their subjugating power.
