The Novels of J. M. Coetzee

This is the first full-length study of Coetzee's novels, and it provides an invaluable introduction to the complexity of Coetzee's writing. It gives detailed reading of all five novels, situating them within the context of the work of contemporary theorists such as Lacan, Derrida, Barthes and Foucalt. Coetzee himself is a Professor of General Literature at the University of Cape Town, and an important task performed by this book is the relating of his fictional writing to his academic writing, of which most readers of the novels are unaware.
