Erika Kohut is a piano teacher at the prestigious and formal Vienna Conservatory, who still lives with her domineering and possessive mother. Her life appears boring, but Erika, a quiet thirty-eight-year-old, secretly visits Turkish peep shows at night and watched sadomasochistic films. Meanwhile, a handsome, self-absorbed, seventeen-year-old student has become enamored with Erika and sets out to seduce her. She resists him at first--but then the dark passions roiling under the piano teacher's subdued exterior explode in a release of perversity, violence, and degradation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elfriede Jelinek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802144616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802144614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.56w x 0.82d","brand":"Elfriede Jelinek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049205887231,"sku":"9780802144614","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b89e9d7-c63d-4106-98e1-7bae38d61aa0.jpg?v=1685000254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-piano-teacher-elfriede-jelinek-9780802144614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
