Powieść, za którą J.M. Coetzee otrzymał pierwszą Nagrodę Bookera.

W RPA trwa wojna domowa. Płoną miasta, kraj patrolują uzbrojone konwoje, wojskowe posterunki pilnują dróg. Michael K., prosty, wycofany ogrodnik, usiłuje przetrwać w rozpadającej się rzeczywistości. Wraz ze schorowaną matką opuszcza miasto i rusza na farmę zapamiętaną z dzieciństwa. Wkrótce jego podróż staje się poszukiwaniem punktów odniesienia w ogarniętym chaosem kraju.

Życie i czasy Michaela K. to historia o poszukiwaniu wolności i niewinności w świecie upadku. Na bezdusznym lądzie, w czasach trwogi i pogardy, Michael, dojrzewając do własnej świadomości, zadaje światu proste pytania oparte na kilku podstawowych zasadach.

Ask me to judge a book dissecting the greater hum...

text Life and Times of Michael K: A Novel

Excellent, excellent novel about a young man lost in South Africa trying to make a life for himself. It sounds trite but it's so much more than that. This book didn't blow me away quite like DISGRACE but it was amazing and beautiful and lyrical all the same. http://www.bostonbibliophile.com/2011/05/...

text The Life and Times of Michael K

isn't this a Liberal Guilt Novel? Coetzee imagines--and believably so--what an illiterate good-natured black South African day laborer/agriculturist has to go through, but the result is the glorification of a human being I'm not sure I would necessarily commit much time to if I met IRL. yes, i belie...
