Austrian Nobel-winning author Elfriede Jelinek is combining novel-writing with her affinity for cyberspace:
Jelinek, 60, has been posting chapters of the new book, “Neid” (German for “Envy”), as she writes them. The first two chapters of the work she describes as a “mixture of blog and prose” are already available on her site, www.elfriedejelinek.com, and there are more to come.
“It’s a wonderfully democratic method, publishing a text on the Internet,” Jelinek told the AP.
Although the German-language work will never appear in traditional book form and is primarily meant to be read on the screen, “anyone who wants to can download it or print it out,” she said.
