Book First Edition
Condition: Wie neu. 2. Auflage. 219 (5) Seiten. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. In "Die jungen Jahre" setzt der große südafrikanische Romancier J.M. Coetzee seine mit "Der Junge" begonne Autobiographie fort. "Im richtigen Leben, so scheint es, kann er nur eins richtig: unglücklich sein", lautet das Fazit den jungen Studenten. Anfang der 60er Jahre kann er der Enge und politischen Situation Südafrikas in seine Traumstadt entrinnen: London. Doch obwohl er als Mathematiker rasch eine Stelle als Programmierer bei IBM findet, gelingt es ihm nicht, heimisch zu werden. Er fühlt sich als Außenseiter und Büromensch, während er sich insgeheim danach sehnt, daß der Dichter in ihm zum Ausbruch kommt oder wenigstens eine schöne Frau ihm ihre Liebe schenkt und ihn so zu unvergänglichen Versen inspiriert. - J. M. Coetzee [ku't?s??] (* 9. Februar 1940 in Kapstadt, eigentlich John Maxwell Coetzee oder John Michael Coetzee) ist ein südafrikanischer Schriftsteller. Er wurde als erster Autor zweimal mit dem Booker Prize ausgezeichnet und erhielt im Jahr 2003 den Literaturnobelpreis. . Werk: Am bekanntesten ist Coetzee für seine Romane (die nie umfangreich sind), er arbeitet jedoch auch in anderen Genres. So veröffentlichte er zahlreiche Essays, die sich häufig mit literaturtheoretischen Fragen beschäftigen. Teilweise werden die Genres Essay und Roman bei ihm auch vermischt. So ist Elizabeth Costello eine Aneinanderreihung von Vorlesungen einer fiktiven australischen Schriftstellerin, die nur durch einen losen Handlungsfaden zusammengehalten werden; in seinem jüngsten Buch Tagebuch eines schlimmen Jahres hingegen werden Essays und eine fiktive Romandlung gleichzeitig auf der selben Seite wiedergegeben. Fragestellungen, mit denen Coetzee sich in seinen Essays beschäftigt, tauchen häufig in seinen Romanen wieder auf. Einige Werke von Coetzee tragen autobiografische Züge, sind jedoch stets so stark fiktionalisiert, dass eine klare Trennung in wahre" Begebenheiten und Fiktion nicht möglich ist. Auch Coetzee selbst tritt in diesen Texten stets als Kunstfigur auf. Außerhalb seiner Literatur ist er mit Äußerungen zu seiner Person und seinen eigenen Werken sparsam, lediglich in dem von David Attwell herausgegebenen Band Doubling the Point äußerte er sich ausführlicher. Coetzee vertritt jedoch die Meinung, dass jede Literatur per se autobiografische und politische Aspekte hat. Rezeption: Schon mit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung Dusklands im Jahr 1974 gelang Coetzee der internationale Durchbruch. Seitdem sind alle seine Bücher Gegenstand zahlloser Rezensionen, Interpretationen und literaturwissenschaftlicher Arbeiten und erreichen hohe Verkaufszahlen. Auf internationaler Ebene war Coetzee niemals ein besonders kontroverser Schriftsteller, in seiner Heimat Südafrika stieß er hingegen teilweise auf Ablehnung. Seine Literatur wurde dort während der Apartheid als elitär angesehen und mit dem Vorwurf der politischen Konturlosigkeit konfrontiert. Im Ausland wurde er hingegen eher als oppositioneller Autor wahrgenommen. Teilweise wurde auch hinter der Vergabe des Nobelpreises an Coetzee im Jahr 2003 eine politische Motivation vermutet. . .
