J.M. Coetzee: a life in writing is the first biography of Nobel
laureate J.M. Coetzee. A global publishing event of the rarest
kind, the book has been written with the full cooperation of
Coetzee, who granted the author interviews and put him in touch
with family, friends, and colleagues who could talk about events in
Coetzee's life. For the first time, Coetzee allowed complete access
to his private papers and documents, including the manuscripts of
his 16 novels. J.C. Kannemeyer has also made a study of the
enormous body of literature on Coetzee, and through archival
research has unearthed further information not previously
available. The book deals in depth with Coetzee's origins, early
years, and first writings; his British interlude from 1962-1965;
his time in America from 1965-1971; his 30 years back in South
Africa, when he achieved international recognition and won the
Booker prize; and his Australian years since 2002, during which
time he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. J.M. Coetzee: a life in
writing is a major work that corrects many of the misconceptions
about Coetzee, and that illuminates the genesis and implications of
his novels.This magisterial biography will be an indispensable
source for everybody concerned with Coetzee's life and work.
