«Les amants» is the novel by Elfriede Jelinek, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
The narrative starts with Brigitte and Paula, two young women who, upon becoming pregnant, enter marriage. Jelinek uses their story to question sentimental values and expose with irony the limitations that Western society imposes on women; the result is a satire of the romance novel, as harsh as it is everyday.
MOLU s.XX collection, no. 158. Catalan translation by Lidia Álvarez Grifoll and Pilar Estelrich Arce. German original: «Die Liebhaberinnen» (1975). Jelinek won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2004.
For readers of contemporary European fiction and those interested in social criticism and feminism.
Elfriede Jelinek is an Austrian playwright and novelist. She is one of the most decorated authors to write in German and was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in 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". She is considered to be among the most important living playwrights of the German language.
