"A remarkable and original book" -- Graham Greene "J. M. Coetzee's vision goes to the nerve-centre of being. What he finds there is more than most people will ever know about themselves, and he conveys it with a brilliant writer's mastery of tension and elegance" -- Nadine Gordimer "A powerful - even prophetic - intelligence at work" Independent on Sunday "This is a voice at once authoritative and subtle: a very powerful combination" -- Hermione Lee Observer "A writer of formidable strength. His novel is important not only for its theme but also for the beauty and clarity of his style" Daily Telegraph
