Very hard read, both language and content wise. A raw depiction of a mentally tortured mind. Very graphic. None of the three characters are likeable, but extremely well written, fleshed out. Jelinek uses methaphors to the extent where you wonder what she is trying to tell you. One of the most challenging yet interesting books I have ever read, watch out for content warnings.
