		Coetzee was later awarded a PhD in Linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin in the United States, where he applied computerised stylistic analysis to the works of Samuel Beckett.

	Literary Encyclopedia: J. M. Coetzee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Coetzee was born in Cape Town in February 1940, and grew up in the vast desert and semi-desert area of the Cape province known as the Karoo.
		Coetzee is an intensely private writer, and this has ensured that the available biographical details of his life are few, although he has published a fictionalized autobiography of his early years in Boyhood (1997).
		Coetzee, however, does not view himself as someone in the public domain, and this perception of the writer’s situation seems to emulate the measured reflectiveness of the fiction, where elusiveness is often a central theme.

	J.M. Coetzee
		Coetzee's reflective, unaffected and precise style cannot be characterized as experimental, but in his novels he has methodically broken the conventions of narration.
		John Maxwell Coetzee, a descendant from 17th-century Dutch settlers, was born in Cape Town.
		In the United States she discusses and analyzes Kafka's monkey story 'A Report to the Academy' (lesson 1), in England at the fictional Appleton College she drew a parallel between gas chambers and the breeding of animals for slaughter (lesson 3), and in Amsterdam her subject is the problem of evil (lesson 6).

	The Nobel Prize in Literature 2003 - Press Release
		Coetzee’s interest is directed mainly at situations where the distinction between right and wrong, while crystal clear, can be seen to serve no end.
		To die in one’s heart away from the world, the temptation that Coetzee’s imagined characters face, turns out to be the principle of the unconscionable liberty of terrorism.
		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.

		Coetzee was born to German and English parents in Cape Town on 9 February 1940.
		Coetzee’s formative experience was bilingual, enabling him to depict his Afrikaans and English characters sensitively: "an uncommon occurrence in South African literature which, as part of the legacy of a divided society, is riddled with ethnic stereotypes" believes Michael Marais, PhD, who studied Coetzee.
		He further observed that Coetzee's novels are characterized by their well-crafted composition and analytical brilliance, containing stories which often criticize the cruel rationalism and cosmetic morality of western civilization.

	Coetzee, John Maxwell - Profiles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		COETZEE, J(ohn) M(axwell) (1940-), South African novelist and critic, was born in Cape Town and educated at the University of Cape Town, where he studied English and mathematics, and the University of Texas at Austin, where he gained a Ph.D. with a dissertation on Samuel Beckett.
		Coetzee's first novel, Dusklands (1974), begun while he was at SUNY and completed after his return to South Africa, was announced as the first modern South African novel by one reviewer, but it is more accurately described as the first post-modern South African novel.
		Coetzee's assertion that all writing, criticism as well as fiction, is autobiography is not an expression of linguistic determinism, but a recognition of the fact that writers can never simply represent the world, and, consciously or unconsciously, are always engaged in constructing a self as they write.
