"It may be that 200 pages have never worked so hard as they do in Coetzee's hands.It deals with love and relationships at their most basic and dark levels - as paths to both meaning and survival." - John Kennedy, The Antioch Review "In its honest and relentless probing of character and motive - reminiscent of Walker Percy's insightful writings - this novel secures Coetzee's place among today's major novelists.Disgrace was made into a film in 2008, directed by Steve Jacobs and starring John MalkovichĪ- : impressive, but full of unpleasantness. Disgrace won the Booker Prize (1999) and the Commonwealth Writers Prize (2000).General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the author Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs.
