One of Elena Ferrante's Top 40 Best Books by Women Erika Kohut
teaches piano at the Vienna Conservatory by day. By night she
trawls the city's porn shows while her mother, whom she loves and
hates in equal measure, waits up for her. Into this emotional
pressure-cooker bounds music student and ladies' man Walter
Klemmer. With Walter as her student, Erika spirals out of control,
consumed by the ecstasy of self-destruction. A haunting tale of
morbid voyeurism and masochism, The Piano Teacher, first published
in 1983, is Elfreide Jelinek's Masterpiece. Jelinek was awarded the
Nobel Prize For Literature in 2004 for her 'musical flow of voices
and counter-voices in novels and plays that, with extraordinary
linguistic zeal, reveal the absurdity of society's cliches and
their subjugating power. The Piano Teacher was adapted into an
internationally successful film by Michael Haneke, which won three
major prizes at Cannes, including the Grand Prize and Best Actress
for Isabelle Huppert.
