Synopsis
THE PIANO TEACHER is the most famous novel by controversial Austrian author and Nobel-Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek. The novel's protagonist Erika Kohut lives a regimented life as a discipline-obsessed piano-teacher. She still lives with her domineering mother--they even share the same bed. But beneath Erika's stern exterior lurks a dark swirling vortex of erotic desire and abnormal urges. Her "hobbies" include self-mutilation, visiting peep-shows, and masturbating in the dark near cars filled with teenagers having sex. When one of her much-younger students falls in love with her, Erika insists that he participate in brutal sadomasochistic rituals before he can make love to her. Soon a twisted power struggle and love triangle emerges between Erika, her mother, and her young lover. Jelinek's unrelenting prose bristles with ecstasy and horror reminiscent of Thomas Bernhard. Her worldview is savage, nihilistic, deeply pessimistic, yet completely captivating. A film version of THE PIANO TEACHER directed by Michael Haneke and starring Isabelle Huppert won the Cannes Grand Jury Prize in 2001.

Industry Reviews
"Sexuality and violence are coupled in this brilliant, uncompromising book set in modern-day Vienna....This novel is not for the weak of heart."
(08/12/1988)

"[Elfriede Jelinek] is a brave, bold, savage writer, and her...novel whirls like a tempest in prose. Imagine if "Tropic of Cancer" was written from a woman's point of view, and you can begin to grasp the rawness of emotion on display here."
John Freeman (10/17/2006)

"[Elfriede] Jelinek is famous for her seriousness, metaphysical, political, ecological. But she is really a comic writer, like Beckett: a joker in the dark."
(12/01/2006)
