I read two books of her: Die "Klavierspielerin" (Piano player, not teacher) 
and "Michael. Eine Jugendbuch für die Infantilgesellschaft" (Michael. A Youth 
Book for the infantile society) - the title speaks for itself. Turgid? She is 
playing with clichés and the language of the popular culture. Her language is 
very aggressive, rough, you must get used to it. She ist a feminist marxist, 
and has always "messages" in her texts. Either you like her, or - not.
