«Deseo» is the novel by Elfriede Jelinek, published by Destino in paperback (234 pages, in Spanish).
Gerti, wife of Hermann, endures her husband's sexual violence in a bourgeois household of apparent normality. Desperate, she seeks refuge with a younger student, but sex is exercised as domination and humiliation. Jelinek criticizes the oppression of women, television, consumerism and the myth of romantic love with raw language.
Elfriede Jelinek was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2004; this Spanish edition includes a translation by Carlos Fortea.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking a novel of social denunciation and a critical portrait of couple relationships.
Elfriede Jelinek is an Austrian playwright and novelist. She is one of the most decorated authors to write in German and was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature for her "musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that, with extraordinary linguistic zeal, reveal the absurdity of society's clichés and their subjugating power". She is considered to be among the most important living playwrights of the German language.
