Nobeldameday
I know the bright blokes over at the Swedish Academy never make mistakes and that they're committed to the Cause of Literature, but somehow this brief biography does not make me want to read the works of the newest Nobel Literature Laureate, Elfriede Jelinek. Her website with the anatomically tortured Bambi figure is more entertaining, though.
Bob Corbett has a collection of Jelinek links. And on second thoughts, any author who defines herself as a "baroque avenging angel" can't be that bad.
And this is the citation: “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”.
