	Disgrace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Disgrace, by JM Coetzee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		"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.
		Coetzee has condensed the metafictional and moral concerns of his other novels-the nature of literary realism amd the solitary confinement of the self, the cathartic potential of art as set against brute actuality, the interaction of parent and child as a microcosm of domination-and found an innovative means of imbuing narrative itself with metaphysical purpose.
		At 52, the protagonist of Disgrace is at the end of his professional and romantic game, and seems to be deliberately courting disaster.

	Salon Books \| "Disgrace" by J.M. Coetzee
		Last month "Disgrace" was awarded the Booker Prize, and it has undeniable echoes of "Michael K," Coetzee's 1983 Booker winner.
		This is the first of the many comparisons of human and animal existence in "Disgrace." Coetzee has always situated his characters in extreme situations that compel them to explore what it means to be human, and before this novel is over, David must endure both psychological abasement and physical torment.
		There is something fundamentally cryptic and unsummarizable about "Disgrace," but I read it as an almost metaphysical journey from this Romantic variety of love to the harsher, leaner strain David eventually learns from life on and around Lucy's farm.

	Disgrace - J.M.Coetzee
		Disgrace loses none of its fidelity to the social and political complexities of South Africa, even while it explores the troubling tensions between generations, sexes, and races.
		"Disgrace is a subtle, multi-layered story, as much concerned with politics as it is with the itch of male flesh.
		Disgrace is the story of David Lurie, a professor at Cape Technical University in South Africa.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Disgrace, by J. M. Coetzee, Paperback
		And while Disgrace offers a lot on the larger themes of power, redistribution, reformation, forgiveness, and more, it is at heart a finely tuned and often bleak portrayal of one man who realizes that he has become outmoded and outdated.
		Disgrace is filled with power dynamics—between men and women, whites and fls, even humans and dogs—and Coetzee is skilled at giving just enough detail and analysis to outline the issues without lecturing us.
		Disgrace is a superbly constructed work of pain and candor, and although it involves events that require the largest generosity, it has as its hero a man gripped by habbits of petty selfishness.

	Amazon.co.uk: Disgrace: Books: J.M. Coetzee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Pitching the moral code of political correctness against the values of Romantic poetry in its evocation of personal relationships, this novel is skillful--almost cunning--in its exploration of David's refusal to be accountable and his daughter's determination to make her entire life a process of accountability.
		Disgrace is foremost a confrontation with history that few writers would have the resources to sustain.
		The biggest disgrace in the novel is the meekness with which the profeesor and his daughter submit to increasing Black dominance, as the daughter signs over her land and cohabits as a concubine with the man who probably arranged her gang rape.

	Review On Disgrace - J M Coetzee by premjit - MouthShut.com
		Disgrace is about David Lurie a 52 year old professor of Romantic Poetry, who is forced to publicly repent a physical dalliance with one of his students.
		It is shocking the way David’s daughter Lucy resignedly accepts situations, sacrificing her beliefs, and her very innate nature, merely to survive & live in subjugation, after a series of cataclysmic events shake the foundations of her life.
		Disgrace throughout its course also subtly underlines the changing moods and shifting stances in a post-apartheid South Africa, painting a grim and discomforting picture.

	Penguin Reading Guides \| Disgrace \| J. M. Coetzee
		Written with the austere clarity that has made J. Coetzee the winner of two Booker Prizes, Disgrace explores the downfall of one man and dramatizes, with unforgettable, at times almost unbearable, vividness the plight of a country caught in the chaotic aftermath of centuries of racial oppression.
		"—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."
		Disgrace is narrated in the present tense, largely through David Lurie's consciousness, though not in the first person.

		Lurie "is at the lowest point in his life, without his professorship, in disgrace, having failed to protect his daughter, no longer able to really communicate with her and thus reach out to her, reduced to living in a tiny, rented room, hiding his identity and past" (Sarvan).
		Disgrace, Coetzee's next novel, is a strong statement on the political climate in post-apartheid South Africa.

		As if he was lulling the reader into a false sense of security, out of the desert countryside come a group of thieves and rapists who attack Luthrie and his daughter.
		It is at this point that the different attitudes to 'disgrace' become apparent, when it seems that Luthrie's daughter cannot bring about any legal proceedings since the reprisals will be far worse.

	News
		In Disgrace Coetzee involves us in the struggle of a discredited university teacher to defend his own and his daughter’s honour in the new circumstances that have arisen in South Africa after the collapse of white supremacy.
		In the dystopian novel Disgrace, David Lurie does not achieve creativity and freedom until, stripped of all dignity, he is afflicted by his own shame and history's disgrace.
		There is very much more to Disgrace than this, but it is interesting, especially with Coetzee's other, apartheid-era work in mind, to note this appetite for allegory arising among the characters of a ruthlessly naturalistic novel.

		Lurie is forced to understand still more aspects of the concept of disgrace as well as place all of this in the context of what is happening in modern South Africa in the area of race relations.
		Charting one man's fall from--and reclamation of--grace, "Disgrace" weaves metaphor that is ironic, blunt, disturbing and, ultimately, timeless around two events that could not be more contemporary: sexual harassment of a co-ed by an aging professor; and an attack by native South Africans on a white farm.
		Although the book is about the "disgrace" of an individual -- a professor who is forced to leave when a sexual romp with a small and young student no longer remains exclusively behind closed doors -- there are many other disgraces depicted and described in this novel: apartheid; criminal vengeance; or sexual predelictions.

	J.M. Coetzee honored with Booker Prize, top British fiction award
		Disgrace tells the story of David Lurie, a 52-year-old professor in Cape Town, South Africa, who seeks refuge at his daughter’s farm after refusing to apologize for an impulsive affair with a student.
		Pitching the moral code of political correctness against the values of romantic poetry, Disgrace examines dichotomies both in personal relationships and in the unaccountability of one culture to another.
		Americans’ awareness of the award’s prestige has helped to convince Coetzee that the Booker Prize, which only English-language authors outside of the United States are eligible to receive, ought to be a competition open to American authors as well.
