I haven’t read <I>The Piano Teacher</I> (I watched movie with Isabelle Huppert which I really love). <BR/>I’ve read two of her stories few years ago in one literary magazine about female authors and it was really huh. I guess just yours with <I>Greed</I><BR/>Translators are avoiding her in general precisely because she is sometime (if not always) so morbid and her work is very dark in that mental sense. I don’t know. I loved movie but really I wouldn’t dare to read her in some language other than my mother tongue.Milan-zzzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07456983404558237912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898736780985062312.post-55079364870957518972007-02-22T16:40:00.000+01:002007-02-22T16:40:00.000+01:00Yes, Jelinek is quite difficult to read and understand. I recently reviewed <EM>Greed</EM> and I have to say that I wasn't crazy about it.karen!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03020530163370836712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898736780985062312.post-8429662552079835242007-02-21T23:33:00.000+01:002007-02-21T23:33:00.000+01:00Funny that you mention her. I was reading an <A HREF="http://www.lanacion.com.ar/edicionimpresa/suplementos/cultura/Nota.asp?nota_id=884305" REL="nofollow">article</A> and she struck me as utterly puzzling. I had heard of her but never actually read anything by her (didn’t even know she had won a Nobel Prize). I’ve just found The Piano Teacher at my library (have you read it?) and I think I’ll give it a try someday.bookish lorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02470456586582845715noreply@blogger.com
