It began with the reading of "enthusiasts," aged about 19 years, spurred on by an enthusiastic classmate, and soon followed by "The Piano" as reading material. I read these two books by Elfriede Jelinek, with special attention. Each set is internally consistent, and can often produce an avalanche of associations in the reader. Three, four years later, I read then the coronation in the form of "pleasure", probably the most amazing novel that Elfriede Jelinek wrote so far.
"Lust" describes the madness of male omnipotence fantasies, sexual exploitation and Humiliation of women in a linguistic expression that is unparalleled. A story that as a female Bildungsroman, while resistance can be read. Latter to a double sense, since they represent one part of the intellectual confrontation with men, for women only extended arms of self-satisfaction, and other concessions to the inner feelings of women and men to encourage readers to specific reflections like. In short, a novel that can be easily misinterpreted, in that the mechanical representations of sexuality false conclusions of the reader in its wake.
I've just got to Elfriede Jelinek, as it has been awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature. There was then quite a media frenzy and not a few self-appointed "judge" defamatory lines written about the author during this decision of the Nobel Prize Committee. Elfriede Jelinek polarized, especially in Austria. The charge that they denounce Austria, here is the most absurd aspect.
something surprising I was because I asked myself and actually still wonder how the judges because the prose of Elfriede Jelinek were translated? Elfriede Jelinek does not write prose that can be transferred easily into all languages of the world. It has a linguistic expression, which metaphorically - to put it harmless - is widely applied, and also provides repetition spirals and flowing into each other main and secondary lines in relationship. In this form, a specialty of dealing with language, even acted as if Rilke partly similar brilliantly.
"The children of the dead" is sometimes hailed as her best novel, which I can not confirm. Certainly this novel a lot of potential to offer, in "The Piano" and especially "like" it does not, however, comes close.
