- Literary Criticism
J. M. Coetzee is one of the worlds most intriguing authors. Compelling, razor-sharp, erudite: the adjectives pile up but the heart of the fiction remains elusive. Now, inJ. M. Coetzee and the Life of Writing, David Attwell explores the extraordinary creative processes behind Coetzees novels fromDusklands to The Childhood of Jesus. Using Coetzees manuscripts, notebooks and research papersrecently deposited at the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas at AustinAttwell produces a fascinating story. He shows convincingly that Coetzees work is strongly autobiographical, the memoirs being continuous with the fictions, and that his writing proceeds with never-ending self-reflection.
Having worked closely with him on Doubling the Point, a collection of Coetzees essays and interviews, and given early access to Coetzees archive, David Attwell is an engaging, authoritative source.The Life of Writing is a fresh, riveting take on one of the most important and opaque literary figures of our time. This moving account will change the way Coetzee is read, by teachers, critics, and general readers.
