**"Fiercely revealing, bluntly unsentimental. . .a telling portrait of the
artist as a young man that illuminates the hidden source of his art."**Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times**
J.M. Coetzee's latest novel, The Schooldays of Jesus , is now available from
Viking. Late Essays: 2006-2016 will be available January 2018.**
Coetzee 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 lifethe brilliant and well-behaved student at school, the
princely despot at home, always terrified of losing his mother's 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 boy's life is the book Coetzee's many admirers have been waiting for,
but never could have expected.
