Critical Praise

"A subtly brilliant commentary on the nature and balance of power in his homeland...Disgrace is a mini-opera without music by a writer at the top of his form."

——Time Magazine

"Mr. Coetzee, in prose lean yet simmering with feeling, has indeed achieved a lasting work: a novel as haunting and powerful as Albert Camus's The Stranger."

——The Wall Street Journal

"A tough, sad, stunning novel."

——Baltimore Sun
