Disgrace--set in post--apartheid Cape Town and on a remote farm in the Eastern Cape--is deft, lean, quiet, and brutal. A heartbreaking novel about a man and his daughter, Disgrace is a portrait of the new South Africa that is ultimately about grace and love.

At fifty--two Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire but lacking passion. An affair with one of his students leaves him jobless and friendless, except for his daughter, Lucy, who works her smallholding with her neighbor, Petrus, an African farmer now on the way to a modest prosperity. David's attempts to relate to Lucy, and to a society with new racial complexities, are disrupted by an afternoon of violence that changes him and his daughter in ways he could never have foreseen. In this wry, visceral, yet strangely tender novel, Coetzee once again tells "truths [that] cut to the bone" (The New York Time Book Review).

A finalist for The National Book Critics Circle Awards

Coetzee is the only writer to have been awarded the Booker Prize twice

读库切，学英语

mixed feelings...

的确写的很好，可惜我的功力不够，知道有深意却体会不出来。

这么写太残酷。问题和冲突的密度让人惊异。性，种族，信仰，人性和动物性。库切自己的形容很对：「truths that cut to the bone」

Last novel I'll ever need to read for composing a seminar paper. Read it years ago and read it a second time last night. Liked it.
