On the Royal Road

Elfriede Jelinek

A new king, made rich by opaque real estate deals, reigns over the world’s most powerful country, proclaiming himself sovereign with a previously unimaginable rhetoric that cheers his fans and terrifies his opponents. In the end, he is elected by a people blinded by false promises and power games.
