Elfriede Jelinek kann schreiben, wunderschön sogar. Aber die Geschichte war irgendwie nichts für mich. Im Prinzip wird zu lange über eine zerrüttete Kindheit mit drakonischer Mutter erzählt, und wie sich das auf das spätere Sexleben der Tochter auswirkt. Hat mir keiner Spaß gemacht, dass über 100+ Seiten zu lesen. Laut Internet scheint es autobiografisch zu sein. Ich habe es erst 2024 gelesen, bei Herausgabe muss das Buch ein Skandal gewesen sein, vermute ich.

Was ist gerade passiert? 
Ich lieb den Schreibstil, Elfriede Jelinek schreibt smart, witzig, tiefgründig, aber dieser Plot ist schrecklich und ich war die meiste Zeit einfach ganz schön geschafft beim Lesen. Es hat mich nicht mal getriggert, weil alles so absurd war.
