Title: J.M. Coetzee and the novel
Description: This book argues that the significance of Coetzee's complex and finely-nuanced fiction lies in the acuity with which it both explores and developes the tradition of the novel - ranging from Cervantes, Defoe, and Richardson, to Dostoevsky, Kafka, and Becket - as part of a sustained attempt to rethink the relationship between writing and politics.
