库切(J. M. Coetzee, 1940―):南非当代著名小说家,自1974年起,先后出版了《幽暗之乡》(Dusklands, 1974)、《国之中心》(In the Heart of the Country: A Novel, 1977)、《等待野蛮人》(Waiting for the Barbarians, 1980)、《迈克尔・K.的生平与时代》(Life and Times of Michael K., 1983;获1983年布克奖)、《敌人》(Foe, 1986)、《铁的时代》(Age of Iron, 1990),以及《彼得堡的主人》(The Master of Petersburg, 1994)等多部小说,被评论界认为是当代南非最重要的作家之一。
Disgrace--set in post--apartheid Cape Town and on a remote farm in the Eastern Cape--is deft, lean, quiet, and brutal. A heartbreaking novel about a man and his daughter, Disgrace is a portrait of the new South Africa that is ultimately about grace and love.
At fifty--two Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire but lacking passion. An affair with one of his students leaves him jobless and friendless, except for his daughter, Lucy, who works her smallholding with her neighbor, Petrus, an African farmer now on the way to a modest prosperity. David's attempts to relate to Lucy, and to a society with new racial complexities, are disrupted by an afternoon of violence that changes him and his daughter in ways he could never have foreseen. In this wry, visceral, yet strangely tender novel, Coetzee once again tells "truths [that] cut to the bone" (The New York Time Book Review).
A finalist for The National Book Critics Circle Awards
Coetzee is the only writer to have been awarded the Booker Prize twice

beautiful prose; painful reading
评分一口气看完了,非常引人入胜。这是一本值得看两遍三遍细细体会欣赏的书,我还在想,它到底要说什么。
评分读库切,学英语
评分洪流中的抗争,毫无装饰的语言叙述着失落和无奈。
评分女儿的故事更动人些,看上去是荒诞的决定,爱你的敌人?承担历史的错误?选择一条可见的辛苦的没有起色的道路?难理解,但也许是对的。库彻得文字和他的证件照很像,有点aloof,和书店书架右边的巴恩斯相比,没那么好读,和隔壁书架的拉矢迪相比,又不太拗口得眼花缭乱。
