A review by pearloz
Lust by Elfriede Jelinek

4.0

Oh, what a difficult read, felt like a poem for the most part, set in paragraphs. The story is essentially brief, the narrative comprised of a few main events (with several "rapes" thrown in for good measure). The ending event was most striking and disturbing of all, and says a lot I think about the role of the woman in this book, that is, as a vessel for the man in ways both literal and figurative.
