Review:
"A provocative and ironic exploration of the relation of art and life" --Los Angeles Times
Book Description:
"A dark and beautifully imagined novel. Coetzee draws a brilliant portrait of an era of desperation, obsession, and hope." --Elle
"A fascinating study of the dark mysteries of creativity, grief, relationships between fathers and sons, and of the great Russian themes of love and death." --The Wall Street Journal
"South Africa's most brilliant novelist...challenges us to doubt our preconceived notions not only of love but of truth itself." --The Seattle Times
A fascinating insight into the mind of Dostoevsky, as imagined by Coetzee – Nobel-Prize winner and one of our greatest living writers.
