This is the first book to focus entirely on the under-researched
but crucial topic of women in the work of J. M. Coetzee, generally
regarded as one of the world's most significant living writers. The
fourteen essays in this collection raise the central issue of how
Coetzee's texts address the 'woman question'. There is a focus on
Coetzee's representation of women, engagement with women writers
and the ethics of what has been termed his 'ventriloquism' of
women's voices in his fiction and autobiographical writings, right
up to his most recent novel, The Schooldays of Jesus. As such, this
collection makes important links between the disciplines of
literary and gender studies. It includes essays by well-known
Coetzee scholars as well as by emerging scholars from around the
world, providing fascinating and timely global insights into how
his works are read from differing cultural and scholarly
perspectives.
