Brünnhilde diagnoses Wotan, father of the gods, to be a victim of capitalism because he, too, has fallen into the trap of wanting to own a castle he cannot afford. In a series of monologues, Brünnhilde and Wotan chart the evolution of capitalism from the Nibelungen Saga to the 2008 financial crisis. Written with her trademark 'extraordinary linguistic zeal' (Swedish Academy), \u003ci\u003erein GOLD\u003c\/i\u003e is a playful and ferocious critique of universal greed by the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElfriede Jelinek, who was born in 1946 and grew up in Vienna, now lives in Vienna and Munich.
