Reviews"Disgrace is not a hard or obscure book — it is, among other things, compulsively readable — but what it may well be is an authentically spiritual document, a lament for the soul of a disgraced century." — The New Yorker "A subtly brilliant commentary on the nature and balance of power in his homeland…. Disgrace is a mini-opera without music by a writer at the top of his form." — Time "Mr. Coetzee, in prose lean yet simmering with feeling, has indeed achieved a lasting work: a novel as haunting and powerful as Albert Camus's The Stranger." — The Wall Street Journal "A tough, sad, stunning novel." — Baltimore Sun, "Disgrace is not a hard or obscure book -- it is, among other things, compulsively readable -- but what it may well be is an authentically spiritual document, a lament for the soul of a disgraced century." -- The New Yorker "A subtly brilliant commentary on the nature and balance of power in his homeland....

Challenging, powerful novel
This is a challenging, disturbing novel about a very flawed main character. The writing is powerful and terse. Honestly, I'm having a hard time getting through it! But hey, he won the Nobel Prize, and you don't get that by writing thrillers with happy endings.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
