«Lust» is the novel by Elfriede Jelinek, published by POINTS in paperback (296 pages, in French).
Director Hermann exercises the same control at home as in his paper factory: his wife, Gerti, endures authority, violence and demands for sex while dreaming of another life. Jelinek dismantles the respectability of the Austrian petty bourgeoisie and portrays a sexist society where power permeates desire and the body.
Elfriede Jelinek won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2004. The French edition, translated from German by Yasmin Hoffmann and Maryvonne Litaize, includes an interview with Elfriede Jelinek.
For readers of contemporary European literature interested in the work of Elfriede Jelinek and in critical novels about power, sexuality and oppression.
Elfriede Jelinek is an Austrian playwright and novelist. She is one of the most decorated authors to write in German and was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature 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". She is considered to be among the most important living playwrights of the German language.
