Omschrijving
LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2016
Selected as a Book of the Year 2016 in the Observer and Daily Telegraph
When you travel across the ocean on a boat, all your memories are washed away and you start a completely new life.
Compelling, often very funny, full of sudden depths
Brilliant...tenaciously absorbing
It is written with the coolness and limpidity that makes Coetzee a master... There were moments where I found it almost too affecting to read
It’s compulsively enigmatic but surprisingly funny too.
Coetzee doesn't want to be understood, or explained. He wants, merely, to be read. The Schooldays of Jesus is, indeed, very readable
J.M. Coetzee’s work includes Waiting for the Barbarians, Life & Times of Michael K, Boyhood, Youth, Disgrace, Summertime, The Childhood of Jesus and, most recently, The Schooldays of Jesus. He was the first author to win the Booker Prize twice and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003.
