Kurt Janisch is an ambitious, but frustrated country policeman.
Things are not going right in his life - at least not fast enough.
But a country policeman gets talking to a lot of people in the line
of duty - particularly women. Lonely, middle-aged women, women with
a bit of property perhaps... Matters go from bad to worse: for Kurt
Janisch, for the women who fall for him. Someone sees too much,
knows too much. Soon there's a body in a lake and a murderer to be
caught. A thriller set amid the mountains and small towns of
southern Austria, Greed is Elfriede Jelinek's most accessible novel
since The Piano Teacher. But as always Jelinek gives the reader a
lot more to think about: the ecological costs of affluence, the
inescapable burden and inadequacy of our everyday words, the
exploitative nature of relations between men and women, the
impossibility of life without relationships. A meditative
reflection on ageing, Greed is another chapter in Jelinek?s
chronicling of her love/hate relationship with Austria.
