Elfriede Jelinek is an Austrian playwright and novelist, best known for her novel, The Piano Teacher.
She was awarded the Nobel Prize in 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 clichés and their subjugating power."
I’ve been supposed to read her Greed for Nobel Women Marathon but I DNFed it. Then I learned Jelinek’s plays are quite good and decided to try it. Clara S is the weirdest play I ever read. It’s bold, it feels modern though it was on stage since 1982. I am not in love with her works. I am kind of in owe. But it hurts my brain terribly.
