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 or anything he may have done to them, but because the youths are arrogant and very pleased with themselves. This arrogance is their way to reacting to the decaying corpse that is Austria, where everyone has a closet in which to hide their Nazi histories, their sexual perversions, and their hatred of the foreigner.
In fierce, exhilarating prose, Elfriede Jelinek shows in Wonderful, Wonderful Times how the present is corrupted by the crimes of the past.
