בעיתון מקומי מתפרסמת ידיעה לקונית על עקרת בית בת חמישים ואחת ששמה קץ לחייה. האישה הזאת היא אמו של פטר הנדקה. בעקבות מותה הוא כותב את סיפור חייה.

אומללוּת שאינה מבקשת דבר היא יצירה דחוסה, אכזרית וקשה, שרושמה עז. הבן-המספר מבקש להתקרב אל דמותה של אמו, ובזמן שהוא מקלף את שכבות חייה, נחשף סיפור חיים רווי אכזבות של אישה שלומדת לא לבקש לעצמה דבר.
הדלות וצרות האופקים של משפחתה, מעמדה כאישה והמוסכמות החברתיות שהיא כבולה אליהן גוזרים עליה לדכא באִבּם כל שמחת חיים ורצון ספונטני. אומללוּת שאינה מבקשת דבר איננו אפוא רק סיפורה שלה, אלא גם סיפורה של חברה ותרבותה, החברה הענייה הקרתנית באוסטריה בשנים שלפני סיפוחה לגרמניה הנאצית, תחת השלטון הנאצי, ואחרי נפילתו. עם זאת, מצד הבן כתיבת הסיפור היא בראש וראשונה ניסיון אישי מאוד להתקרב אל אומללותה של האם ולהעניק לה כוח ספרותי, ואולי אפילו סוג של ניצחון – לאישה האלמונית האחת הזאת שהחיים הביסו אותה.

פטר הנדקה, יליד 1942, הוא סופר, מחזאי ותסריטאי אוסטרי. בשנת 2019 הוענק לו פרס נובל לספרות.

לספר מצורפת אחרית דבר מאת אילנה המרמן, שתרגמה מחדש את הספר לעברית.
