Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek is known as a writer who works in response to contemporary crises and cultural phenomena. Perhaps none of her works display that quality as clearly as On the Royal Road. Three weeks after Donald Trump's election, Jelinek mailed her German editor the first draft of this play, which turns out to be a stunningly prescient response to Trump and what he represents. In this drama we discover that a "king," blinded by himself, who has made a fortune with real estate, golf courses and casinos, suddenly rules the United States, and the rest of the people of the world rub their eyes in disbelief until no one sees anything anymore.

As topical as the evening news, yet with insight built on a lifetime of closely observing politics and culture, On the Royal Road brings into focus the phenomenon of right-wing populism, which spreads like a virus and has a lasting effect on global politics. Carefully perched somewhere between tragedy and grotesque, high-pitched and squeamish, Jelinek in this work questions her own position and forms of resistance.

Easy to install, sturdy, and a must-have around the house!
Color: White, Color: White
These cord clips are the best! I have them all over my house where we have chargers. Very easy to install (just peel off a sticker), they hold nicely and have saved my from searching around for cords! The magnetic hook makes them extra sturdy. These fit so many different types of cords, a must have these days!

Great shelves!
Color: Grey, Size: 55 Inch, Style: 2 Pack
This shelf is lovely--simple and modern. My handyman said it was easy to install AND made a note to buy it for his own rental units because he said the internal supports were very sturdy. Fast delivery and exactly as described--and the price is nice, too.

Good size and quality
Easy installation, been up on the wall for several months now and they're exactly what we were looking for. Pretty sturdy, good quality. First order of these came broken but they replaced them no problem.

Open kitchen concept came alive ❤️
Love these shelves and recommend to others. They are sturdy with the mounting bracket system and look great. It was easy to install with another set of hands. The material has the look I wanted and there were no missing parts!
