what were the circumstance surrounding the breakup? Is there any discussion of what happened, other than intimations that the relationship soured after Joelle's acid in the face incident? |

There isn't really. This is the best gathering of facts I could come up with from the summary of the Molly Notkin section in Elegant Complexity: Notkin says that the Auteur’s son’s excuse for abandoning his relationship with Madame Psychosis was his “accusing Madame Psychosis of being sexually enmeshed with . . . the Auteur.” On pp. 227-8 Notkin “has no idea . . . whether Orin left because [Jim and Joelle] were lovers or what.” According to n. 80, Orin knows Jim and Joelle weren’t lovers (but cf. Jim’s role in “the end [of the relationship]’s start” on p. 297 and Orin’s implied jealousy when speaking to Hal at the top of p. 250). Near the end of the section, Notkin attributes Orin’s departure to Joelle’s “traumatic deformity.” |
