β¦ Synopsis
A man contemplates his deep connection to a house.
The unfathomable idea of threshing wheat points to a life lost.
And a writer ponders the creation of his narrator.
Three Stories His Man and He, written as Coetzees acceptance speech for
the Nobel Prize for Literature, A House in Spain and Nietverlorenis the
work of a master at his peak. These are stories that embody the essence of our
existence.
J.M. Coetzee was the first author to win the Booker Prize twice and was
awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003. His work includes Waiting for
the Barbarians, Life and Times of Michael K, The Master of Petersburg,
Disgrace, Diary of a Bad Year and most recently, The Childhood of Jesus. He
lives in Adelaide.
All [the stories are] impeccably crafted and a joy to read, with the book
itself beautifully presented in duck egg blue and inlaid gold too. New
Daily
For all the sharpness and sorrow of Coetzees writing, there is something
grandly calming about his style: his sentences seem to give off light, and not
in a hard dazzle, but in the glow of a childs night-light. Age/Sydney
Morning Herald
Coetzees strength as a writer is such that each of the stories is engaging,
thought-provoking and highly readable. West Australian
