By Margaret Wertheim
Reviews The fury of two paleontologists tells us much about the temper of the late-19th century. Unfortunately, the book is a slog. By Thomas Hackett Get Uncle Sam off my back! and other misguided impulses American government-bashers like to wrap themselves in a constitutional flag. But Garry Wills argues that the Founders wanted a strong government, not a weak one. By Gary Kamiya Reviews "The Season" by Ronald Kessler By Peter Kurth Lady killer True-crime writers plumb the mystery of the murderous philanderer Thomas Capano. By Judson Grant Complete archives for Books D i s g r a c e BY J.M. COETZEE VIKING FICTION 220 PAGES Nov. 5, 1999 I Last month "Disgrace" was awarded the Booker Prize, and it has undeniable echoes of "Michael K," Coetzee's 1983 Booker winner. In both books a man is broken down almost to nothing before he finds some tiny measure of redemption in his forced acceptance of the realities of life and death. But Professor David Lurie, the protagonist of "Disgrace," has farther to fall than Michael K, an unsophisticated Cape Town gardener. And the clarity David comes to at the end grows largely from his accepting an ever-increasing portion of pain. "One gets used to things getting harder; one ceases to be surprised that what used to be as hard as hard can be grows harder yet," he reflects. That sentence also describes Coetzee's notion of life in the new South Africa, where, as he portrays it, brutal tyranny has been replaced by brutal anarchy.

Giving Offense:
Essays on Censorship
J.M. Coetzee
The University of Chicago Press 1996 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee Coetzee's essays in Giving Offense deal not with the politics of censorship but with its psychological and moral effects on both the censors and the censored. The opening chapter is a broad survey of both censorship and pornography , its common target. Chapter two sets the tone for the rest of the volume, considering the psychological damage censorship does to writers, the dangers of paranoia and megalomania. The other ten chapters are critical studies of writers who were subject to censorship, who theorised about it, or who wrote in justification of it. The subjects are Catharine McKinnon's claims about "the harms of pornography", D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterly's Lover , Erasmus' In Praise of Folly , Osip Mandelstom and his Stalin Ode, Soviet censorship and Solzhenitsyn, and the poetry of Zbigniew Herbert. Turning to his native South Africa, Coetzee writes about the "madness" of theoretician of apartheid Geoffrey Cronjé, the writings of judge J.C.W. van Rooyen (head of the Publications Appeal Board from 1980 to 1990), André Brink's models of censorship, and the poetry of Breyten Breytenbach. Coetzee leans a little too heavily on French critical theory for my liking. The essay on Erasmus, for example, invokes Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, and Girard and waves critical phalluses of various sizes around. But Coetzee never succumbs to the lure of applying the same recipe to everything, so one can follow him without having to swallow entire theoretical paradigms raw.

B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback J.M. Coetzee (b. 1940) South-African novelist, critic, and translator, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003. The violent history and politics of his native country, especially apartheid, has provided Coetzee much raw material for his work, but none of his books have been censored by the authorities. Often he has examined the effects of oppression within frameworks derived from postmodernist thought. Coetzee's reflective, unaffected and precise style cannot be characterized as experimental, but in his novels he has methodically broken the conventions of narration. "He continues to teach because it provides him with a livelihood; also because it teaches him humility, brings it home to him who he is in the world. The irony does not escape him: that the one who comes to teach learns the keenest of lessons, while those who come to learn learn nothing." (from Disgrace John Maxwell Coetzee, a descendant from 17th-century Dutch settlers, was born in Cape Town. His father was a lawyer and his mother a schoolteacher. In his memoir
