About the book

A collection of five dramas, in which Jelinkek deals with the myths of fairy tales and today's media world. "Der Tod und das Mad̈chen" is the dialog of a hunter with Snow White as she searches for the truth behind beauty, "Dornröschen" deals with the innocent land that is reawakened by the kiss of "Prince" Jörg Haider; in "Rosamunde" Jelinke reworks Franz Schubert's musical drama to pose the incompatibility of being a woman and a writer, and in the fourth piece, "Jackie," the late First Lady gives stage directions to the dead men in her life, Jack, Bobby, Ari, etc., and in the fifth drama, the two writers Inge (Bachmann) and Sylvia (Plath) fight with a ram and throw it over an unseen wall.
