From the double Booker Prize-winning author of Disgrace, an astonishing novel of new beginnings and the troubles of youth. 'Brilliant... Tenaciously absorbing' Daily Telegraph David is the small boy who is always asking questions. Simn and Ins take care of him in their new town, Estrella. He is learning the language, he has begun to make friends and he has the big dog Bolvar to watch over him. But he'll be seven soon and he should be at school. And so, David is enrolled in the Academy of Dance. It's here, in his new golden dancing slippers, that he learns how to call down the numbers from the sky. Yet it's here too that he will make troubling discoveries about what adults are capable of. The Schooldays of Jesus is a mesmerising tale about growing up, and about the choices we are forced to make in our lives. 'Compelling, often very funny, full of sudden depths' Observer Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2016

Compelling, often very funny, full of sudden depths * Observer * Brilliant...tenaciously absorbing * Daily Telegraph * 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 -- David Sexton * Evening Standard * Its compulsively enigmatic but surprisingly funny too. * Metro * Coetzee doesn't want to be understood, or explained. He wants, merely, to be read. The Schooldays of Jesus is, indeed, very readable * The Times * The books interest comes almost entirely from its strangeness its world continues to be charmingly, earnestly weird. -- Roger Bellin * Literary Review * He is a proven master with an increasingly wilful streak, always a writer to excite, while for a reader with a fondness for backing a good horse, here it is. While it is always dangerous to push an as yet unpublished work, but in the case of Coetzee, this could be a book of the year, never mind an expected contender. -- Eileen Battersby * Irish Times * [It is] surprisingly involving...richly suggestive. -- Stephanie Cross * Daily Mail * Freed from literary convention, Mr Coetzee writes not to provide answers, but to ask great questions. * The Economist * [A] tenaciously absorbing sequel. -- Duncan White * Sunday Telegraph *
