The Tall Woman
One of Franz’s young students and the woman he falls in love with after both Sabina and Marie-Claude leave him. Franz’s girlfriend sits at the back of Franz’s funeral as Marie-Claude plays the role of the grief-stricken wife, even though everyone knows that their marriage was over, and that Franz was living with another woman. This willful denial of truth is another example of kitsch in the novel.
