Originally published in 1995 in German, the Austrian writer Elfriede
Jelinek’s “The Children of the Dead <https://amzn.to/3PqXVwH>” is perhaps
the only zombie novel written by a Nobel Prize winner. Of course — Jelinek
being Jelinek — it is a great deal more than that: a savage reckoning with
the Holocaust; an indictment of consumer culture; a compilation of ghastly
erotica replete with undead orgies; an erudite display of Joycean wordplay;
and a relentlessly bleak portrait of the human capacity for self-deception.
