Critics Review
‘A major force in contemporary writing. A master, in fact.’
‘Freed from literary convention, Mr Coetzee writes not to provide answers, but to ask greatquestions.’ – Economist
‘For all the sharpness and sorrow of Coetzee’s writing, there is something grandly calming abouthis style: his sentences seem to give off light, and not in a hard dazzle, but in the glow of achild’s night-light.’ – Age
‘A major force in contemporary writing. A master, in fact.’ – Sunday Star Times (NZ)
