First Edition. J. M. Coetzee takes us into the world of Michael K, a young man unwillingly caught up in a war in South Africa. At the age of thirty-one, Michael loses his job as a gardener for the city of Cape Town, and promises to take his ailing mother back to her home town of Prince Albert. On the way there she dies leaving Michael completely alone. He takes refuge on a deserted farm, living off the land "by the rising and setting of the sun in a pocket outside time." . . . In this compelling yet simple story, written in beautiful, spare prose, J.M. Coetzee goes to the center of human experience - the need for an interior, spiritual life; for some connections to the world in which we live; and for purity of vision.
