Review:

Jelinek, noble prize winner, is a genius. Obvious true. In translation. She writes objectively about people as objects. 

Her novels are so fresh they make writing, that old worn out medium, seem novel.

She writes about people without sympathy, or perhaps with it, but so really that she makes all other novelists seem 
sentimental.

read er.
