Kurt Janisch is an ambitious, frustrated, country policeman. Things are not going right in his life. But a country policeman gets talking to a lot of people in the line of duty - particulary women. Lonely, middle-aged women, women with a bit of property perhaps... matters go from bad to worse. Someone sees too much, knows too much. Soon there’s a body in a lake and a murderer to be caught.
'Greed' is Elfriede Jelinek’s most accessible novel since 'The Piano Teacher'. She gives the reader a lot more to think about: the ecological costs of affluence, the inescapable burden and inadequacy of everyday words, the exploitative nature of relationships between men and women.
