| | 1. |  | Disgrace (Penguin Essential Editions)
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
Coetzee's Disgrace is a complicated read and experience for the seasoned novel reader. The protaganist, David Lurie, is an unsympathetic, unlikeable main character. He is a womanizer, immoral, and emotionally immature. We meet him initially as he is engaged in his weekly tryst with a prostitute; we... more info

In Daniel Defoe's classic novel "Robinson Crusoe," the island is a boys' playhouse with no girls allowed. Solitude is a relentless adventure.

| | 5. |  | Diary of a Bad Year
from Viking Adult
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
This "novel" unfolds in three parallel tracks: a series of "strong opinions" written for an anthology by an aging South African writer living in Australia (Senor C); Senor C's internal thoughts, particularly regarding his young, sensuous typist, Anya; and Anya's internal thoughts. All three tracks... more info

| | 6. |  | The Life and Times of Michael K
from Vintage Books
Price: $14.45
Customer Review:
"Michael K" is not your grandma's South African novel. It would be expected that this book would discuss the oppression of Apartheid, but it goes above and beyond this by capturing the essence, in a most unwilling and unaware character, of the human spirit's ability to survive on practically nothing... more info

| | 10. |  | Elizabeth Costello
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I have read Mr. Coetzee's literary criticism and found it worth the effort. He should stick to what he does well, which is not writing fiction. This is just barely a novel, only because the form is so broad that almost any long piece of prose can qualify. But it is not an interesting novel, though... more info
