Elfriede Jelinek won the Nobel Prize. The Piano Teacher is a very bitter account of the life of a woman groomed by a suffocating mother to pursue music and the secretive alter life she maintains in the face of fascist control — personally and by the society surrounding her. When I read it, it rings so true. Every vitriolic impulse I have ever felt is given light in this novel. That being said, I do not feel like Tumblr is the place to drop in quotes. I plan to keep reading, however.
