A Story of South Africa: J. M. Coetzee’s Fiction in Context

By Susan Gallagher

The publication of Age of Iron established J. M. Coetzee as one of the foremost writers of the day. In this study of Coetzee's fiction, Susan Gallagher places his work in the context of South African history and politics. Her historical readings of Coetzee's six major novels explore how he lays bare the dense complicity between thought and language in South Africa.
