In her first novel published in English after winning the 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature, Elfriede Jelinek delivers a stunning and unforgettable book, writing in her signature style and chronicling the exploitative nature of relations between men and women, and the cruelties of everyday life.
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.
