I saw a film called "Nico Icon" a few months ago when it played briefly in
Ann Arbor, and it made me think that maybe Joelle was intended to be like
Nico played in reverse, a sort of mirror image ala V. perhaps.  If Joelle
goes from sinister to human, Nico went from human to sinister.  She
practically became a walking corpse.  She even turned her son onto heroin.
And by the way, I thought all this DFW stuff was to have migrated over to a
Wallace list.  Has it come baaack???                                     -jm
