Kurt Janisch is an ambitious but frustrated country policeman who gets talking to a lot of people in the line of duty, particularly to women: lonely, middle-aged women with a bit of extra property. . . . Things go from bad to worse, for Kurt Janisch and the women who fall for him. Someone sees and knows too much, and 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 important novel since The Piano Teacher. In her inimitable way, Jelinek touches on the ecological costs of afflue

’That’s brutal violence on a defenceless person, and quite unnecessary, declares Sophie, and she pulls with an audible tearing sound at the hair of the man lying in an untidy heap on the ground. What’s unnecessary is best of all, says Rainer, who wants to go on fighting. We agreed on that.’ It is the late 1950s. A man is out walking in a park in Vienna. He will be beaten up by four teenagers, not for his money, he has an average amount, nor for anything he might have done to them, but because the youths are arrogant and very pleased with themselves. Their arrogance is t

The Piano Teacher, the most famous novel of Elfriede Jelinek, who was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature, is a shocking, searing, aching portrait of a woman bound between a repressive society and her darkest desires. Erika Kohut is a piano teacher at the prestigious and formal Vienna Conservatory, who still lives with her domineering and possessive mother. Her life appears to be a seamless tissue of boredom, but Erika, a quiet thirty-eight-year-old, secretly visits Turkish peep shows at night to watch live sex shows and sadomasochistic films. Meanwhile, a handsome, self-absorbed, seve
