Now a major motion picture starring John Malkovich.
A divorced, middle-aged English professor finds himself increasingly unable to resist affairs with his female students. When discovered by the college authorities, he is expected to apologize and repent in an effort to save his job, but he refuses to become a scapegoat in what he sees as a show trial designed to reinforce a stringent political correctness.
He preempts the authorities and leaves his job, and the city, to spend time with his grown-up lesbian daughter on her remote farm. Things between them are strained — there is much from the past they need to reconcile — and the situation becomes critical when they are the victims of a brutal and horrifying attack.
In spectacularly powerful and lucid prose, Coetzee uses all his formidable skills to engage with a post-apartheid culture in unexpected and revealing ways. This examination into the sexual and political law lines of modern South Africa as it tries desperately to start a fresh page in its history is chilling, uncompromising and unforgettable.

库切是我非常喜欢的一位作家,也是越读越复杂的一位敏于深思的作家。他对人性的深思不仅仅有益于成年人重新对人生保持警觉和反省,即便对于一个在成长中的年轻人来说,对于他们如何深入这个世界,而不是浅尝辄止地批判来说,库切的作品至少不是那种能许多年弃之不顾的文化遗址...
评分一、 〈耻〉读了。居然是一部典型的传统现实主义之作。本来听说库切小说文本很新。但耻不管怎么说是比较现实主义的。〈耻〉艺术上是非常通畅的,语言精炼、冷峻、也有力度。故事也很清爽,一点没有拖泥带水。应该说是很好读的。从这部作品看我总觉得库切有一种欧洲传统现实...

不喜欢男主角,对女儿的选择有疑惑,但是可以看出隐藏的对文化的根的执着
评分You think it is, but not at all.
评分库切的风格我喜欢,利索直接。书中女儿的选择让我略有疑惑,可能是不熟悉文化的缘故。
评分十年前,我念這本時不知所云;十年後我明白偉大的譯者是多麼可貴,不然毀人不倦的事仍舊每天上演層出不窮。
