Relying on the author's personal recollections as well as on J.M.
Coetzee's autobiographical and fictional works, this book deals
with Coetzee's formation as a writer of international prominence,
whose life and writing career began in South Africa. Drawing on
Coetzee's "South African" writings from Dusklands through Disgrace,
the book considers Coetzee's initial positioning in provincial
South African political and literary culture as well as his drastic
reframing of South African "letters" and his breakout into a global
career culminating in the award of the Nobel Prize in 2003. The
book considers Coetzee almost exclusively in relation to the South
Africa from which he emigrated in 1999, but also emphasizes his
momentous revision and undoing of the marginalized genre of "South
African Literature" in the service of global authorship. Written in
the conviction that Coetzee's "South African" works remain his most
impassioned and momentous ones, this book seeks to come to terms
with their conditions of possibility and distinctive achievement.
