If you go beyond her incomprehensible "Bambiland," information about the new Nobel Laureate Elfriede Jelinek says her works include the novel that served as the basis for "The Piano Teacher" (ugh!) and the libretto for Olga Neuwirth's "Lost Highway." Title and story came from David Lynch's 1997 film. Has anyone seen the opera? PS: A propos Lynch, for more about Lacanian psychoanalysis, see http://www.othervoices.org/1.3/bh/highway.html#N_1. It helps to "explain" Jelinek too... it's a small world, after all. Janos Gereben www.sfcv.org [log in to unmask]
