The piano teacher

Elfriede Jelinek (Author), Joachim Neugroschel (Translator)
Deep passion, thwarted sexuality and love-hate for a mother dominate the life of Erika Kohut, a piano teacher at the Vienna Conservatory. Into this emotional pressure-cooker bounds Walter Klemmer, music student and ladies' man. Jelinek's masterpiece, The piano teacher was for Publishers' weekly "Brilliant and uncompromising."
