In The Slow Philosophy of J.M. Coetzee Jan Wilm analyses Coetzee's
singular aesthetic style which, he argues, provokes the reader to
read his works slowly. The effected 'slow reading' is developed
into a method specifically geared to analyzing Coetzee's singular
oeuvre, and it is shown that his works productively decelerate the
reading process only to dynamize the reader's reflexion in a way
that may be termed philosophical. Drawing on fresh archival
material, this is the first study of its kind to explore Coetzee's
writing process as already slow; as a program of seemingly
relentless revision which brings forth his uniquely dense and
crystalline style. Through the incorporation of material from
drafts and notebooks, this study is also the first to combine an
exploration of the writer's stylistic choices with a rigorous
analysis of the reader's responses. The book includes close
readings of Coetzee's popular and lesser known work, including
Disgrace, Waiting for the Barbarians, Elizabeth Costello, Life and
Times of Michael K and Slow Man.
