J. M. Coetzee
Biography
Currently the Arderne Professor of English at the University of Cape Town, J.M. Coetzee completed a Ph.D. in literature at the University of Texas, Austin, in 1969. He wrote his dissertation on Samuel Beckett and cites Beckett's middle period as a profound influence on his own work. He began writing his first novel, Dusklands, while teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1970. The novel reflects both his interest in the colonization of southern Africa and his response to American involvement in the Vietnam War. Though he was reluctant to return to South Africa, when his application for a green card was refused, Coetzee accepted a position in literature at the University of Cape Town, where he has taught ever since. After his return to Cape Town in 1972, Coetzee went on to write six major novels, two collections of essays, and, most recently, Boyhood, an autobiographical work of "constructed" childhood recollections. In Boyhood, Coetzee reveals the childhood sources of his fascination with language. Raised in an English-speaking home in spite of his Afrikaans surname, the protagonist of Boyhood identifies himself as English; yet he also speaks fluent Afrikaans. He thus belongs to two language communities; yet he isin bothan outsider.

http://www.boekgrrls.nl/BgBesprokenBoeken/coetzee_disgrache.htm
Boekgrrls Coetzee , John Michael: Disgrace Eén van de eerste mails over dit boek geeft een fraaie samenvatting: Coetzee beschrijft de neergang van David Lurie. Het verhaal leest als een parabel over het moderne Zuid-Afrika. Waarin de ene, witte, bevolkingsgroep een schuld heeft uitstaan bij de andere, zwarte bevolkingsgroep. Na het verschrikkelijke wat er gebeurd is, zijn doodsangst en de onmacht zijn kind te beschermen, wordt zijn levensvreugde weggenomen. Zijn toekomst, haar toekomst, die van Zuid-Afrika: let it all go to the dogs. De beschrijving van de zwarte klusjesman Petrus, die langzaam opklimt van eenvoudige "dogman " naar trotse landbezitter. Zo gaat het in het moderne Zuid-Afrika: de Professor wordt de dogman. En Lucy wil opnieuw beginnen, zonder bezit, zonder rechten, zonder waardigheid, Like a dog, Yes, like a dog. Waarom het boek me zo aangreep is waarschijnlijk het gedeelte over Lucy. Haar vernedering werd nederigheid. In haar herken je de liefde voor het land. Ze heeft besloten een goed mens te zijn. En je houdt je hart vast wat er de komende tijd met haar en haar nog ongeboren kind gaat gebeuren. Dit kind hoort niet bij de zwarten en niet bij de blanken. Zou Petrus haar kunnen beschermen tegen volgende verkrachtingen of maakt hij ook misbruik van haar. Ook hoe het in de toekomst met Zuid-Afrika zal gaan. De spanningen in het Zuid-Afrika na de apartheid. De angst van de blanken. De ongelijke verdeling van land. Zie wat er nu in Zimbabwe gebeurt.

Genre Novel (220 pp.) Keywords Aging Colonialism Father-Daughter Relationship Freedom ... Trauma Summary David Lurie is a scholar of the English Romantic poets, now professor of communications in Cape Town in newly post-apartheid South Africa. He is fired in disgrace for sexual harassment after having an affair with one of his students, Melanie Isaacs, or raping her (our definition of the act is deliberately blurred until later). He goes to stay with his daughter, Lucy, who kennels dogs and grows flowers on a smallholding in the Eastern Cape, and he passes his time helping Lucy's friend, Bev, in the euthanasia and disposal of sick and unwanted dogs. Then he and Lucy are attacked by three black men who arrive at the farm. They pour lighter fluid over him and set him on fire, and they gang-rape Lucy. One of the attackers is a relative of Lucy's neighbour, a black man named Petrus, and protected by him. Lucy refuses to press charges or to leave, but Lurie drives back to Cape Town.

Disgrace
By Coetzee, JM
Reviews:
Kerry Fried, Amazon.com The New Yorker,
November 15, 1999
David Lurie is hardly the hero of his own life, or anyone else's. At 52, the protagonist of Disgrace is at the end of his professional and romantic game, and seems to be deliberately courting disaster. Long a professor of modern languages at Cape Town University College, he has recently been relegated to adjunct professor of communications at the same institution, now pointedly renamed Cape Technical University: Although he devotes hours of each day to his new discipline, he finds its first premise, as enunciated in the Communications 101 handbook, preposterous: "Human society has created language in order that we may communicate our thoughts, feelings and intentions to each other." His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origins of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul. There is much more to be explored in Coetzee's painful novel, and few consolations. It would be easy to pick up on his title and view Disgrace as a complicated working-out of personal and political shame and responsibility. But the author is concerned with his country's history, brutalities, and betrayals. Coetzee is also intent on what measure of soul and rights we allow animals. After the attack, David takes his role at the shelter more seriously, at last achieving an unlikely home and some measure of love. In Coetzee's recent Princeton lectures, The Lives of Animals, an aging novelist tells her audience that the question that occupies all lab and zoo creatures is, "Where is home, and how do I get there?" David, though still all-powerful compared to those he helps dispose of, is equally trapped, equally lost.
