Book Description:
|
Representing a wide range of critical and theoretical perspectives, this volume seeks to align the South African dimension of Coetzee's writing with his "late modernist" aesthetic. It includes essays exploring the relationship between Coetzee's novels and his work on linguistics; and, by paying particular attention to the novelist's more recent fictional experiments, the collection points towards a narrato-political and linguistic reassessment of the Coetzee canon.
