Diary of a Bad Year: Diary of a Bad Year: Fiction Paperback - 2008
by J. M. Coetzee
The Nobel Prize-winning author of "Disgrace" delivers an utterly contemporary work of fiction that takes on the world of politics and explores the role of the writer in modern times.
Summary
An ingenious new work of fiction from the Nobel Prize? winning author of Disgrace
J . M. Coetzee once again breaks literary ground with Diary of a Bad Year, a book that is, in the words of its protagonist, ?a response to the present in which I find myself.? Aging author Senor C has been commissioned to write a series of essays entitled ?Strong Opinions,? of which he has many. After hiring a beautiful young typist named Anya, the two embark on a relationship that will have a profound impact on them both? especially when Alan, Anya?s no-good boyfriend, develops designs on Senor C?s bank account. Told in these three voices simultaneously, Coetzee has created any entirely new way of telling a story, and nothing less than an ?involving, argumentative, moving novel? (The New Yorker).
