In a quaint Austrian ski resort, things are not quite what they seem. Hermann, the manager of a paper mill, has decided that sexual gratification begins at home. Which means Gerti – his wife and property. Gerti is not asked how she feels about the use Hermann puts her to. She is the receptacle into which Hermann pours his juices. The long-suffering and battered Gerti thinks that she has found her saviour and love in Michael, a student who rescues her after a day of vigorous use by her husband. But Michael is on his way up the Austrian political ladder, and he is, after all, a man.
A dazzling performance, Lust confirms Elfriede Jelinek’s position as the most corrosive chronicler of the war of the sexes.
