Disgrace

Praise

WINNER OF THE BOOK PRIZE
THE NOBEL PRIZE WINNING NOVELIST

“Disgrace is not a hard or obscure book—it is, among other things, compulsively readable—but what it may well be is an authentically spiritual document, a lament for the soul of a disgraced century.”—The New Yorker

“A subtly brilliant commentary on the nature and balance of power in his homeland…. Disgrace is a mini-opera without music by a writer at the top of his form.”—Time

“Mr. Coetzee, in prose lean yet simmering with feeling, has indeed achieved a lasting work: a novel as haunting and powerful as Albert Camus’s The Stranger.”—The Wall Street Journal
“A tough, sad, stunning novel.”—Baltimore Sun

“A great novel by one of the finest authors writing in the English language today.” – The Times (London)

“What is remarkable about Coetzee’s vision as a novelist is that it remains intensely human, rooted in common experience and replete with failure, doubt and frustration.” ― Guardian

“Exhilarating… One of the best novelists alive.” ― Sunday Times (London)
