Coetzee’s most important novel, sadly more relevant everyday.
Coetzee’s latest novel is written as two, entwined diaries—his own and that of a younger woman who he comes to pass the time with.
With Coetzee’s last few works of fiction, he seems to be making an effort to get out ahead of the biographers who will no doubt pounce on his grave while still warm.
