Beschreibung:
J. M. Coetzee is the author of more than twenty books, including The Life and Times of Michael K, for which Coetzee was awarded his first Booker Prize in 1983, and Boyhood: Scenes from Provincial Life, a memoir. With Disgrace, Coetzee became the first author to win the Booker Prize twice. In 2003, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Renowned for his sparse yet powerful prose, J. M. Coetzee is unquestionably among the most influential-and provocative-authors of our time. With characteristic insight and a "brittle wit that forces our attention on the common terrors we don't want to think about" (Washington Post), Coetzee here challenges us to interrogate our preconceptions not only of love, but of truth itself.
