| Description |
|
|
Nobel Prize laureate J.M. Coetzee—also the first writer ever to win a second Booker Prize—here returns to his protagonist (perhaps his alter ego) from The Lives of Animals and Slow Man. Elizabeth Costello is a distinguished Australian novelist whose life is revealed through a series of eight formal addresses. From an award acceptance speech at a New England liberal arts college to a lecture on evil in Amsterdam, and a sexually charged reading by poet Robert Duncan, Coetzee draws the reader towards the book's astonishing conclusion. On its surface a story of a woman's life as mother, sister, lover, and writer, it is also a layered meditation on storytelling.
