[Review] The Pole, J. R. Patterson , single work review
— Review of The Pole and Other Stories J. M. Coetzee , 2023 selected work short story ;
'IN MUSIC, when one wants to sound impressive, it’s best to play something fast; prestissimo gets the audience’s pulse up. If what is desired, however, is to play impressively, one must play something slow. Without the distraction of speed, the protective flurry of notes, your musicality—your artistic competence —is laid bare. With The Pole, J. M. Coetzee is playing (writing) as slowly as possible.'
