庫切(J. M. Coetzee, 1940―):南非當代著名小說傢,自1974年起,先後齣版瞭《幽暗之鄉》(Dusklands, 1974)、《國之中心》(In the Heart of the Country: A Novel, 1977)、《等待野蠻人》(Waiting for the Barbarians, 1980)、《邁剋爾・K.的生平與時代》(Life and Times of Michael K., 1983;獲1983年布剋奬)、《敵人》(Foe, 1986)、《鐵的時代》(Age of Iron, 1990),以及《彼得堡的主人》(The Master of Petersburg, 1994)等多部小說,被評論界認為是當代南非最重要的作傢之一。
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

這麼寫太殘酷。問題和衝突的密度讓人驚異。性,種族,信仰,人性和動物性。庫切自己的形容很對:「truths that cut to the bone」
评分Last novel I'll ever need to read for composing a seminar paper. Read it years ago and read it a second time last night. Liked it.
评分那時候圖書館隻剩下這個essential edition的版本,而且紙很厚,很快就看完瞭。這本書讓我頭一次覺得英文很動人,果然文學作品和流行小說是兩碼事
评分前半部更順暢。女兒的行為實難以苟同。落寞悲觀絕望。生存有其自身的準則,你若想突破即便成功也要付齣相應代價。可是這準則又是誰製定的?為何不能去懷疑去超越?準則存在本身就是一種深層的挫敗與絕望。激情與憤怒都成瞭可笑的啞劇。又一個不喜歡的國度。我果然還是太多的憤怒。
评分女兒的故事更動人些,看上去是荒誕的決定,愛你的敵人?承擔曆史的錯誤?選擇一條可見的辛苦的沒有起色的道路?難理解,但也許是對的。庫徹得文字和他的證件照很像,有點aloof,和書店書架右邊的巴恩斯相比,沒那麼好讀,和隔壁書架的拉矢迪相比,又不太拗口得眼花繚亂。
