A young English biographer is working on a book about the late
writer, John Coetzee. He plans to focus on a period in the
seventies when, the biographer senses, Coetzee was 'finding his
feet as a writer'. He embarks on a series of interviews with people
who were important to Coetzee - a married woman with whom he had an
affair, his favourite cousin Margot, a Brazilian dancer whose
daughter had English lessons with him, former friends and
colleagues. Thus emerges a portrait of the young Coetzee as an
awkward, bookish individual, regarded as an outsider within the
family. His insistence on doing manual work, his long hair and
beard, and rumours that he writes poetry evoke nothing but
suspicion in the South Africa of the time.
