J.M. Coetzee is one of the world's most intriguing authors.
Compelling, razor-sharp, erudite: the adjectives pile up but the
heart of the fiction remains elusive. Now, in J.M. Coetzee and the
Life of Writing, David Attwell explores the extraordinary creative
processes behind Coetzee's novels from Dusklands to The Childhood
of Jesus. Using Coetzee's manuscripts, notebooks, and research
papers-recently deposited at the Harry Ransom Center of the
University of Texas at Austin-Attwell produces a fascinating story.
He shows convincingly that Coetzee's work is strongly
autobiographical, the memoirs being continuous with the fictions,
and that his writing proceeds with never-ending self-reflection.
Having worked closely with him on Doubling the Point: Essays and
Interviews and given early access to Coetzee's archive, David
Attwell is an engaging, authoritative source. J. M. Coetzee and the
Life of Writing is a fresh, fascinating take on one of the most
important and opaque literary figures of our time. This moving
account will change the way Coetzee is read, by teachers, critics,
and general readers.
