Elfriede Jelinek awarded Nobel Prize for Literature!!!!!
Woet!!
What I'm about to say is, admittedly, superficial. But it must be said--the orange lipstick and eye shadow are a dangerous combination known to cause blindness in small children.
Of course, it might just be my computer screen causing her to look like that. And I might want to read something by her in order to have something of substance to add.

Posted by: mig at October 7, 2004 04:11 PMThe covereage on the radio this morning (thank you, NPR!) was talking about how much of the conservative political establishment of Austria hates her, and how she returns the favor, and she said something to the effect of "This prize is not for Austria." So I can imagine her provoking some heart attacks.

That being said, I was going to ask you about her. I've never read her and was going to see if I should bother. I'll take the "Woet!" as a yes!
