A 2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title In September 2003 the
South African novelist J. M. Coetzee was awarded the Nobel Prize
for Literature, confirming his reputation as one of the most
influential writers of our time. J. M. Coetzee and the Idea of the
Public Intellectual addresses the contribution Coetzee has made to
contemporary literature, not least for the contentious forays his
work makes into South African political discourse and the field of
postcolonial studies. Taking the author's ethical writing as its
theme, the volume is an important addition to understanding
Coetzee's fiction and critical thinking. While taking stock of
Coetzee's singular, modernist response to the apartheid and
postapartheid situations in his early fiction, the volume is the
first to engage at length with the later works, Disgrace, The Lives
of Animals, and Elizabeth Costello. J. M. Coetzee and the Idea of
the Public Intellectual explores Coetzee's roles as a South African
intellectual and a novelist; his stance on matters of allegory and
his evasion of the apartheid censor; his tacit critique of South
Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission; his performance of
public lectures of his alter ego, Elizabeth Costello; and his
explorations into ecofeminism and animal rights. The essays
collected here, which include an interview with the Nobel Laureate,
provide new vantages from which to consider Coetzee's writing.
