J.M. Coetzee's full name is John Michael Coetzee. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1940, Coetzee is a writer and critic who uses the political situation in his homeland as a backdrop for many of his novels. Coetzee published his first work of fiction, Dusklands, in 1974. Another book, Boyhood, loosely chronicles an unhappy time in Coetzee's childhood when his family moved from Cape Town to the more remote and unenlightened city of Worcester. Other Coetzee novels are In the Heart of the Country and Waiting for the Barbarians. Coetzee's critical works include White Writing and Giving Offense: Essays on Censorship. Coetzee is a two-time recipient of the Booker Prize and in 2003, he won the Nobel Literature Award.
A searing portrait of a young colonial in early 1960s London from the two-time winner of the Booker Prize. Set against the background of the 1960s - Sharpeville, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam Youthis a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself. The narrator ofYouth, a student in the South Africa of the 1950s, studies mathematics, reads poetry, saves money, trying to ensure that when he escapes to the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity and transform it into art. Arriving in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance. Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief. Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing. An awkward colonial, a constitutional outsider, he begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting.

評分 評分書裏有三張庫切的照片。封一的太倉老,編輯手記前的中規中矩,封底的最俊朗,眼睛裏有柔和的光。齣版社目的昭彰,一路往纔色雙修上靠去。 遙遠的大背景,獨特的經曆,卻能使人共鳴。他要擺脫混亂的祖國,擺脫母親的溺愛,擺脫平庸,擺脫他不齒的社會俗見,進入純粹的藝...
評分原來,正如庫切想讓我們看到的,青春不過如此;一個開頭。 因為還年輕,生活在此時總是捧著雙手,有所允諾。即使目露狡黠,總也不是什麼和愚蠢相關聯的事情。 總忘不掉庫切在書裏問道:“哪個英國人能夠理解,是什麼把人們從世界遙遠的角落帶到一個他們厭惡的,沒有任何親情關...
