A global publishing event of the rarest kind, this biography has
been written with the full cooperation of J. M. Coetzee, who
granted the author interviews, and put him in touch with family,
friends, and colleagues who could talk about events in Coetzee’s
life. For the first time, Coetzee allowed complete access to his
private papers and documents, including the manuscripts of his 16
novels. Author J. C. Kannemeyer made a study of the enormous body
of literature on Coetzee, and through archival research unearthed
further information not previously available. The books deals in
depth with Coetzee’s origins, early years, and first writings;
his British interlude from 1962–65; his time in America from
1965–71; his 30 years back in South Africa, when he achieved
international recognition and won the Man Booker Prize; and his
Australian years since 2002, during which time he won the Nobel
Prize.
