A review by ohhunty
Lust by Elfriede Jelinek

3.0

Jelinek to me really just vomits her extreme cynical and sarcastic thoughts whenever she can.
Since I was struggling with a bit of a heartbreak, her obsessive irony and nasty remarks helped me get through part of it. I love how truly disgusting she can make the interaction between men and women. She also has a talent for writing filthy sex scenes and than adding it with metaphors about capitalism.

I do have to say that sometimes I get lost and seem to not really grasp what the plot is. I have to reread some parts and then I’m back up to speed because sometimes I lose focus in her rants about society.
