Elizabeth Costello is a humane, moral, and uncompromising creation.

The subject of J.M. Coetzee’s latest work of fiction is an Australian writer of international renown -- fêted, studied and honoured. Famous principally for an early novel that established her reputation and from which, it seems, she will never escape, she has reached the stage, late in life, where her remaining function is to be venerated and applauded.

One of a new breed of intellectual nomads, her life has become a series of engagements in sterile conference rooms throughout the world -- a private consciousness obliged to reveal itself to a curious public: the presentation of a major award at an American college where she is required to deliver a lecture; a sojourn as the writer-in-residence on a cruise liner during which she encounters a fellow guest lecturer, an African poet also employed to divert the passengers. Then there is a disquieting appearance at a writers’ conference in Amsterdam where she finds the subject of her talk unexpectedly among the audience. She has made her life’s work the study of other people, yet now it is she who is the object of scrutiny. But, for her, what matters is the continuing search for a means of articulating her vision and the verdict of future generations.

J.M. Coetzee’s latest work of fiction offers us a profound and delicate vision of literary celebrity, artistry and the private life of the mind.- From the Hardcover edition.

库切的小说，我一口气买了五本，冲着他留给人的好印象。我一般不愿意买小说，买得多是文学批评方面的著作，或是维特根斯坦《哲学研究》这类“哲学丛书”。简言之，我很看重书的工具意义，好像它们纷纷对应一口幽井。我希望它们值得反复看，每次重读都有受益。因平时对小说写作...
