""Greed" is another intriguing and challenging novel from
Europe's cleverest, most visceral social phobic."-"The List"
In her first novel published in English since becoming the
recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2004, Elfriede
Jelinek delivers a stunning and unforgettable book.
"Greed" is the story of Kurt Janisch, an ambitious but
frustrated country policeman, and the lonely women he seduces. It
is a thriller set amid the mountains and small towns of southern
Austria, where the investigation of a dead girl's body in a lake
leads to the discovery of more than a single crime. In her
signature style, Jelinek chronicles the exploitative nature of
relations between men and women, and the cruelties of everyday
life.
Always controversial, Jelinek was considered a bold choice for
the Nobel Prize. The Swedish academy applauded her linguistic zeal
and analytic prowess, while her critics have been scandalized by
her satirical critiques of patriarchy and her masochistic
heroines.
The leading Austrian writer of her generation, Elfriede Jelinek
has been awarded the Heinrich BAll Prize and the Nobel Prize for
Literature.
