庫切(J. M. Coetzee, 1940―):南非當代著名小說傢,自1974年起,先後齣版瞭《幽暗之鄉》(Dusklands, 1974)、《國之中心》(In the Heart of the Country: A Novel, 1977)、《等待野蠻人》(Waiting for the Barbarians, 1980)、《邁剋爾・K.的生平與時代》(Life and Times of Michael K., 1983;獲1983年布剋奬)、《敵人》(Foe, 1986)、《鐵的時代》(Age of Iron, 1990),以及《彼得堡的主人》(The Master of Petersburg, 1994)等多部小說,被評論界認為是當代南非最重要的作傢之一。
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

The vision could get rather misty if you go through the whole package crystal clear.
評分那時候圖書館隻剩下這個essential edition的版本,而且紙很厚,很快就看完瞭。這本書讓我頭一次覺得英文很動人,果然文學作品和流行小說是兩碼事
評分總體感覺還是怪怪的,始終感覺不是第一流的文學,而且Coetzee好像總喜歡塑造老年的肉體與性之間的緊張關係。。。

評分洪流中的抗爭,毫無裝飾的語言敘述著失落和無奈。
