Coetzee

Disgrace is a novel I’ve been reading; an assigned reading for an English class. J. M. Coetzee is the novel’s author, and I have to say he is a genius. I was skeptical wen my professor had said he was among the best of authors writing in the last century. In English’s crudest terms, Coetzee is the “shit”. He’s truly gifted and/or amazingly skilled in his writing.

Disgrace is about living life in modern South Africa. It’s depressing, but the way Coetzee handles the themes it simply amazing. “Simply amazing”, such terms do Disgrace no justice. It’s humorous, enraging, depressing; it’s life.

I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone.

Read it.

That’s really all I can really say about it.
