Critical Praise

"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

"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
