{"product_id":"greed","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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thriller set amid the mountains and small towns of southern Austria, Greed is Elfriede Jelinek's most accessible novel since \u003ci\u003eThe Piano Teacher\u003c\/i\u003e. 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, \u003ci\u003eGreed\u003c\/i\u003e is another chapter in Jelinek?s chronicling of her love\/hate relationship with Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791280206003,"sku":"9781846686665","price":572.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478132729781846686665.jpg?v=1762855449","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/greed","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
