Jane DeLynn
Librettist
Biography
Author Jane DeLynn has been compared to an astonishingly diverse group of writers-from Aristophanes and Euripedes and Rabelais to Jane Austen, Edgar Allen Poe, Jonathan Swift, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Helene Cixous, JD Salinger, and Woody Allen. Her first-person trilogy of "In Thrall" (a teenager in love with her teacher in the pre-Stonewall '60s), "Don Juan in the Village" (cruising for love in the US and abroad), and "Leash" (tedium of Capitalist excesses leads the narrator on an adventure which leads her to renounce being "human") is considered the definitive portrait of lesbian life in the last half of the 20th century. Also a journalist-she spent two months in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during the first Gulf War-- and librettist-- "The Monkey Opera: The Making of a Soliloquy" was produced at the Brooklyn Academy of Music--she currently resides in Long Island and Los Angeles. Her aim in writing is to "think the Unthinkable and speak the Unspeakable."
