This work draws on a wide range of theoretical ideas and approaches
to illuminate Coetzee's texts including: deconstruction and the
'school of singularity', ethics and power, gender studies, queer
theory, issues surrounding the body and animal rights.Nobel
Laureate and the first author to win the Booker Prize twice, J.M.
Coetzee is perhaps the world's leading living novelist writing in
English. Including an international roster of world leading critics
and novelists, and drawing on new research, this innovative book
analyses the whole range of Coetzee's work, from his most recent
novels through his memoirs and critical writing. It offers a range
of perspectives on his relationship with the historical, political,
cultural and social context of South Africa. It also contextualises
Coetzee's work in relation to his literary influences, colonial and
post-colonial history, the Holocaust and colonial genocides, the
'politics' and meaning of the Nobel prize in South Africa and
Coetzee's very public move from South Africa to Australia.
Including a major unpublished essay by leading South African
novelist Andre Brink, this book offers the most up-to-date study of
Coetzee's work currently available.
