{"product_id":"greed-by-elfriede-jelinek","title":"Greed","description":"\u003cp\u003eKurt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elfriede Jelinek","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":49597234020608,"sku":"9781852429027","price":1095.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/2636\/0064\/files\/9781852429027.jpg?v=1788006037","url":"https:\/\/tbkandmore.com\/products\/greed-by-elfriede-jelinek","provider":"TBK \u0026 More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
