devitalise 's review for:

The Piano Teacher by Elfriede Jelinek

2.0

can’t recall any major thoughts or feelings i had about reading this. something about how it didn’t flinch from gory mutilation as an outlet for self hatred made for uncomfortable reading. unsure if some of the repetitive sentences is something present in the original German version, or added in the translation.

hating your mother so much you hate yourself? eldest daughters go crazy in media.
