Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A dazzling performance that will make the blood run cold (Walter Abish ?A brilliant deadly book? Elizabeth Young ?Jelinek)

s fragmented style blurs reality and imagination, creating a harsh, expressionistic picture of sexuality (Scotland on Sunday ?As a portrait of repressed female sexuality and a damaged psyche, The Piano Teacher glitters dangerously? Observer ?There are some horrifically crazed laughs to be had at the antics of mother and daughter trapped in their domestic h she sometimes brings to her dramas a touch of vaudville? The Guardian)

Reseña del editor:

Passion, thwarted sexuality and love-hate for a mother dominate the life of Erika Kohut, a piano teacher at the Vienna Conservatory. Whilst her mother waits up for her, Erika Kohut trawls the porn shows of Vienna in search of tacky pleasure. Into this emotional pressure-cooker bounds Walter Klemmer, music student and ladies' man. As the relationship between teacher and pupil spirals downward, Jelinek paints a frightening picture of a woman consumed by the ecstasy of self-destruction. The Piano Teacher has been translated into French and Dutch and is currently being filmed.
