Elfriede Jelinek. Greed. A Novel

Elfriede Jelinek's novel Greed can be described as a crime novel, a work of the "light genre".

The novel is based not only on real politics but also on actual crimes. For example, Gabi's murder is based on a real incident that occurred in a small provincial town in 1986 and was reported in the press.

The novel's text also contains other references to media reality. As always with Jelinek, "Greed" contains many hidden quotations from philosophical and poetic discourses.

Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek's taboo-free novel is a merciless, evocative tale of greed, misogyny, and philistinism.
