Coetzee In and Out of Cape Town

Imraan Coovadia

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to see J.M. Coetzee’s emigration from South Africa to Australia as a logical step within his career, and to understand Coetzee’s relationship with the city and university of Cape Town. It also tries to set out the nature of Coetzee’s self-assertion and self-canonization, and the interplay between Coetzee and the Coetzeean critics.

 


Keywords
