Coetzees latest novel, The Schooldays of Jesus, is now available from Viking. Late Essays: 2006-2016 will be available January 2018. n nCoetzee grew up in a new development north of Cape Town, tormented by guilt and fear. With a father he despised, and a mother he both adored and resented, he led a double life--the brilliant and well-behaved student at school, the princely despot at home, always terrified of losing his mothers love. His first encounters with literature, the awakenings of sexual desire, and a growing awareness of apartheid left him with baffling questions; and only in his love of the high veld (farms are places of freedom, of life) could he find a sense of belonging. Bold and telling, this masterly evocation of a young boys life is the book Coetzees many admirers have been waiting for, but never could have expected.n
